WHO HATCHED THIS IDEA?
Is starting (or maintaining) a business as challenging as finding a date?
Many appear to think so. That's why the good folks over at "The Hatchery" are promoting an event called "Hatch Match."
It's very much like "Speed Dating" -- where you're "forced" to go from table to table meeting different people (for a delineated time period) -- except this is for business networking and related purposes.
Here's a copy of the e-mail I received earlier today. (The spacing problems were in the original e-mail I received. I also took the liberty of deleting the accompanying advertising.)
