Corporate Partnerships Manager

A welcome from Dirk Bischof, Founding CEO
At Hatch Enterprise, we support underrepresented entrepreneurs from across the UK to imagine, launch and grow sustainable and impactful businesses through tailored support, community and partnerships.
The team at Hatch is a fantastically diverse group of people who are passionate about going that extra mile to support founders and help shape a fairer economy, and a better world.
Since 2014, we’ve supported close to 8,000 founders across the UK and grown our revenue to £1.7m annually. We’ve been there for founders through some of the most turbulent and challenging times in recent history, from the COVID-19 pandemic and mass business closures, coming face to face with societal inequity highlighted by #BlackLivesMatter, to the cost of living crisis.
Now we’re looking at our next big milestone: Delivering holistic and inclusive enterprise support for hundreds of founders every year whilst also delivering on our promise to support founders with patient, flexible financial support alongside our programmes.
At Hatch, we try to embody the following values in everything we do, from being transparent with data and information, to trying new things, failing but learning from mistakes and to collaborate on strategic decisions, drawing on our collective expertise, experience and networks:
We are inherently experimental
We believe in human potential
We create meaningful connections
We are committed to achieving equity
Hatch’s work has been recognised in recent years, including:
Being recognised as one of the top 100 social enterprises in the UK, featuring in the NatWest SE100 Index every year since 2019, as well as named finalists in the Equality category in 2023.
