Hatchable

For teachers

An entrepreneurship course for your classroom

Students learn how a business actually works, then build one. They plan it, pitch it to people who know them, sell something real, and report back on how it went. You can see where each of them is at any point.

No licence to review, and no waiting list.

Modules 1 to 8 are readable without signing up.

What is in the course

9 modules, 217 lessons. Roughly a semester if you run it end to end, and useful in much smaller pieces if you do not.

Module 9 covers personal finance, and it is the one module that will not be filmed: its 19 lessons are slides rather than video, and they are written and in the course now. Every module has a teacher guide. Many readings and worked examples carry a video of their own, so 160 of the 217 lessons play something.

What you get as a teacher

See where every student is

Your class roster shows how far each student has got, lesson by lesson. Not a percentage for the whole course, but which lesson they finished and when.

Read their work and reply

Students hand in written answers, files or a link to something they made. You read it, write feedback, and they get an email telling them to look.

A guide for each module

Discussion questions, what the module is trying to teach, and what good answers tend to look like. Written for the teacher, not shown to students.

Invite your class two ways

Send each student their own email invite, which adds them to your roster right away, or share one link with the whole class, which adds a student once you approve them.

Run a pitch night

Set up a showcase, let students enter their pitch, and have the class or their families vote. Nothing appears until you approve it.

Starting takes about ten minutes

  1. 1Create a teacher account and confirm your email address.
  2. 2Email each student an invite, or share one link with the whole class. A link each joins your roster as students sign up; the class link waits for your approval.
  3. 3Open Module 1 and set the first few lessons. You will see progress arrive as they work.

What Hatchable is not

  • Not accredited. Students get a certificate — a record of work, not a qualification.
  • Not curriculum-mapped yet. Tell us your province and we can prioritize it.
  • Not a shop platform. Students take reservations and record sales. No payments processed, no shipping.
  • Module 9 is not on the public site. It is only inside the course, made of slides rather than video — and like every module, it has a teacher guide.

Questions teachers ask

Do I have to teach the whole thing?
No. Each lesson is standalone. Use one module, one week, or a single example. Modules 1–8 are readable without an account.
Does it count for credit?
No. We are not accredited. Students get a certificate on completion, which is a record of work, not a qualification.
Is it matched to my province's curriculum?
Not yet. We wrote it to teach entrepreneurship well, not to match provincial documents. Tell us your course and we can prioritize that mapping.
Do students spend any money?
No. Shop pages take reservations only. No card is entered, no payment goes through us. Customers pay the student in person. That is also why students under 18 can run their own shop here.
Can I roster my class from Google Classroom?
No. There is no Google Classroom or Clever integration, and there is no school or district account either — you have your own class list, and a principal cannot see across teachers. You can send each student an invite to their own email address, or share one link with the whole class and approve students as they join — either way it takes a few minutes but is manual.
Is it accessible for every student in my room?
Partly, and the gap is worth knowing before you plan a lesson. We have not had an independent accessibility audit, and the course videos carry only YouTube's automatic captions, which nobody has checked or corrected. Machine captions are not accurate enough to meet the guidelines, and it is the gap we consider most serious. The written lessons, transcripts and worked examples do not depend on the video.
The videos are on YouTube. Our board blocks it.
Check first. YouTube blocks affect 160 of 217 lessons. Written content still works. Videos are public on our YouTube channel, so students can also watch them at home.

Try it with one class

You can stop whenever you like. If it does not suit your class, we would genuinely like to know why.
