FREDERICTON – This week, Fredericton-based startup accelerator Planet Hatch announced anew leadership team as it approaches its five-year anniversary. This includes appointing a new director, Adam Peabody.
Huddle chatted with Peabody about the impact Planet Hatch has had on New Brunswick business, where he plans to take it next, and more:
Planet Hatch has been around for about five years now, how would you describe the role it has played over that time in the New Brunswick business landscape?
One of the really important roles is being that catalyst agency for the startup community for the Greater Fredericton region and New Brunswick as a whole. [Planet Hatch] has undertaken a number of different initiatives in its own right, but its real purpose and mission has been to bring the various stakeholders that we have in the community of Fredericton and across New Brunswick together around a mission of supporting startups, originally in the ICT sector, but now including many other sectors as well. . . .
