See How The Entrepreneurship Hatchery
Brings Student Ideas to Life

Now in its second year, The Entrepreneurship Hatchery has created quite a buzz at U of T. As its name suggests, The Hatchery provides undergraduates with tools and resources to turn their ideas into commercial products and services.

Join us for lunch on Wednesday, October 9 to learn about the program and its successes from Professor Joseph Orozco, The Hatchery’s Executive Director. He’ll share examples of the student teams’ great ideas and discuss what it takes to develop a strong business model and launch a start-up today.

He serves as an adjunct professor at U of T's Centre for Management of Technology and Entrepreneurship.
