Hi! I'm one of the co-founders of DigitalOcean. Our plan is to open the Hatch program up to bootstrapped startups around the world.

We've launched the Hatch program in beta to pilot the program to a small group of startups over the next month. While in beta, we're going to be working to refine the offering and eligibility criteria for bootstrapped startups to apply.

For now, we've included a call to action on the Hatch landing page for those bootstrapped startups who are interested in joining the Hatch program once we open it up to a larger group of startups.

This is great news. Thank you for being responsive to the bootstrap community :).

How long do you expect the beta to last for and I couldn't see a CTA for bootstrapped startups. But I'd rather send an email for consideration to whoever is running the program / support when you guys have opened the program.

Thanks

Very good news! Once I am ready to start my company, I will definitely be applying.
