The Hatchery Social provides support for student-led non-profit startups that are aimed at creating social impact. Startups will receive guidance from an expert advisory board as well as mentorship from established entrepreneurs in relevant sectors, legal counsel, accounting and marketing services.

To effectively guide the next generation of leaders for societal change, the Hatchery encourages experiential learning and nurtures the entrepreneurial mindset in both U of T students and faculty. In the supportive Hatchery environment, students are encouraged to embrace not only the successes but also the failures of the entrepreneurial journey.
