The Hatchery 2027 Info Session: An Immersive Summer Entrepreneurship Experience

About this event

Earn 3 credits while you spend the first part of your summer building something real.

The Hatchery is an intensive, in-person experience where you strengthen your entrepreneurial mindset and put it to work through hands-on projects, coaching and a community of fellow Future Makers.

The program features three of Lehigh’s Entrepreneurship Pathways:

1 Entrepreneurial Mindset Foundations: learn the basics of entrepreneurship

2 Early Venture Creation: work on your own startup beginning with customer discovery.

3 Entrepreneurial Mindset for Professional Growth: on challenges from community partners

You’ll leave with practical tools, guidance from people who’ve done the work, and habits that keep paying off long after summer ends.

New for 2027: The Hatchery is now a 3-credit Entrepreneurship 101 (ENTP 101) undergraduate course. The immersive experience that past “Hatchlings” describe as nothing short of “transformative” is still at its center.
