We are excited to announce our 12 finalists for HATCH 2013! These companies were selected from around the world and the competition has been fierce. Applicants were evaluated based on factors such as:

• How revolutionary is the idea? What impact will it make on the world?
• What’s the product? What problem does it solve and for whom?
• What’s the market?
• What’s great about the startup founders and team?

Our selection committee had a tough task narrowing down to 12 finalists and were impressed with the quality of applications received. We’d like to thank everyone for applying and wish the best to all companies, regardless of HATCH status!
