Hatchable Is Now Free for Everyone — No Cost, Forever
Today, we're making something official that has always been our intention: Hatchable is completely free. For everyone. Forever.
No subscriptions. No premium tiers. No credit card required. Every student aged 12 and up, every teacher, every school — full access to the entire platform at zero cost.
Why We're Making This Announcement
Since day one, Hatchable has been built on a simple belief: quality entrepreneurship education should not be locked behind a paywall.
We know that great business ideas don't care whether you come from a well-funded school or a small town with limited resources. The next generation of Canadian entrepreneurs is out there right now — and we want every one of them to have the tools they need to succeed.
So today, we're making it unambiguous: Hatchable is a not-for-profit educational platform, and it will remain free — not as a "free tier," but as our only tier.

Here's exactly what students and teachers get at no cost:
For Students:
- Access to all 9 modules and 144+ lessons in the full entrepreneurship course
- Video lessons, readings, real-world examples, and quizzes
- Assignment submission with direct teacher feedback

Built on Real Research
Hatchable isn't just another online course. Our curriculum was developed with Dr. Raphael Camargo Penteado at the University of Toronto's Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), with research support from MITACS — one of Canada's leading innovation funding organizations.
That means every lesson is grounded in:
- Proven teaching methodologies from academic research
- Real entrepreneurship frameworks used at the university level
- Practical, hands-on assignments designed for young Canadian learners
You get PhD-researcher-designed content at no cost. That's the Hatchable promise.

A Message from Our Founder
"We built Hatchable because we believe entrepreneurship education is a right, not a privilege. This announcement isn't a pivot — it's who we've always been. The next great Canadian entrepreneur might be a 14-year-old in a small town who just needs the right tools. We're here to give them that."
— Benny Marianayagam, Co-Founder, Hatchable
