Mr. Victor Zhu

RVRC Alumnus, NUS Class of 2020

RVRC is proud to showcase the growth and impact achieved by its alumnus Victor Zhu as a sustainability trendsetter in the field of social entrepreneurship and innovation.

Victor is the Founder and CEO of Hatch - an impact-driven business with the mission to leverage digital as a tool for intentional impact. In his work, he brings in partnerships and resources to make the dreams of social innovation a reality, such as creating Singapore’s first digital employability program for out-of-school and at-risk youths, and more recently, for persons with disabilities.

The business comprises two arms - Hatch Academy, which runs skills and employability programs in Digital Marketing and User Interface, User Experience (UI/UX) Design for learners from all walks of life, as well as Hatch Mediahouse, which provides a suite of digital and design services to help small and medium-sized businesses and non-profits digitalise.

Hatch is founded on Victor’s belief that quality training and employment services should not be reserved for the privileged; his aspiration is to help youth from underprivileged backgrounds discover their strengths, enter meaningful careers, and be the best versions of themselves. Victor bootstrapped the start-up from its early days while he was a student at RVRC, and currently spearheads business, social innovation, and organisation strategy.
