"Starting my company wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Goizueta Business School and the Startup Launch Accelerator. The rigorous market research and focus on solving real market problems taught me that customer discovery is the bedrock of any business. This experience reinforced the critical importance of always delivering accessible solutions for the customer.
“At The Hatchery, I am deeply grateful to Ben Garrett and the exceptional mentors who supported my journey. The Hatchery team strikes a perfect balance between offering autonomy and being available when needed. I’m especially appreciative to Stuart Zola for his guidance in navigating founders through the NIH process and for his expert advice on refining how I pitched and presented tapfer. Overall, the support from The Hatchery team was crucial to my success.
“The most valuable lesson from The Hatchery is to embrace 'failing forward.' Rapid failures accelerate learning, revealing what doesn't work and guiding you toward what does. Every setback is an opportunity to gain critical insights and drive future success.”
