Work for
Builders

HatchBridge's Student Fellows play a key role in supporting our builders at KSU. By collaborating directly with founders and faculty, our students bring valuable skills and fresh perspectives to early-stage projects.

This fellowship provides hands-on experience, helping startups refine their ideas and grow while enabling students to further develop their professional skills.

HatchBridge Studios

HatchBridge members and residents get access to six studios, each staffed by student fellows (student assistants) with a defined area of expertise. You bring the request. The studio scopes it, builds it, and delivers a finished result.

Six studios cover the work most early-stage companies cannot do alone

UX/UI Design

Website and landing page design, usability audits, user research, and presentation decks. A landing page goes live in about three weeks.

Sample projects
  • Website design and user experience for a child care provider technology platform.
  • Website design and user experience for a social media platform.
  • Design work for several other early-stage products getting ready to launch.

Prototyping

3D printing, laser cutting, soldering, embedded systems, supplier and parts research, and limited-scale production runs. Hardware ideas become physical products you can test.

Sample projects
  • Prototyping marketing-related products for a resident space company.

Finance

Financial models, cash flow and burn rate projections, pricing and profitability analysis, loan request models, and investor-ready financials.

Sample projects
  • Investor-ready financial model and operational support for a vehicle upfitting company.
  • Financial model and operational support for a digital marketing agency.
  • Financial modeling for several other growing businesses.

Marketing

Brand and messaging, copywriting, social media campaign strategy, content planning for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, event promotion, and competitive research.

Sample projects
  • Marketing presentation and one-page sales materials for a videography company.

Production

Podcast setup, recording and editing, short-form video clips, long-form content, thumbnails, and story development for your brand or product.

Sample projects
  • Video editing for a real estate video technology company.

AI & Automation

Strategy and development support to implement AI and automation that improve the effectiveness and efficiency of services and workflows.

Sample projects
  • Development of a membership portal for members, residents, and staff to track engagement, unlock resources, and stay informed about important incubator updates.
