Aaron Everhart

Founder and Chairman
​Aaron grew up on a ranch in Oregon, USA. Summer was occupied with caring for horses, cows, sheep, goats, and chickens (inspiring, of course, the "hatch" name). He endured Oregon's long winters building circuit boards and PCs, or playing hockey. At fourteen, he moved to Palo Alto, California for high school.

He studied the fine art of poetry at the University of California Santa Cruz earning a BA with honors. He studied poetry at masters level at San Francisco State University. He has an MBA from La Trobe, Melbourne.

After a five year career in "commercial poetry" (brand naming, copywriting), followed by five years as Technology Director at Landor  San Francisco, Aaron moved to Vietnam as a volunteer for an NGO.

Liking Vietnam, he decided to stay and open a boutique creative agency along with a former Ogilvy executive. The company spun off the unit controlled by Aaron, and established as ABL.INK.

Aaron founded HATCH! in 2011 to serve the individual entrepreneur. In 2016 and 2017, he was awarded top 2% best mentors in Founder Institute. He's also a founding member of the Asean Angel Alliance.
