Team insights
Life at Hatch
The team at Blackbird are as ambitious as the companies they invest in. They work like a startup, not a traditional VC firm. That means deep work, planning and thoughtful discussion is important, but so is having fun.
Lucia Salim, Financial Accountant, Operations shares about Blackbird's culture: “Blackbird is a company that is truly passionate about what it does, and the value of "making our kids proud" really resonated with me. Everyone at Blackbird thinks like an owner and is here to do their best work - being amongst such a talented and motivated team is contagious and inspires me to keep improving myself.”
Our Story

The Hatch story started when good friends Adam Jacobs (Ex THE ICONIC Founder) and Chaz Heitner (Ex Zip Co-founder) came together to build something they were deeply passionate about.
Both founders believe that traditional hiring processes are broken and limit people from finding work that’s a good fit for them. Since founding the company, Adam and Chaz have built a team that shares their mission and are both confident they will continue to build an impactful global company for many years to come.
