We improve the valuation and speed of achieving commercial and technical success for start-ups and existing companies developing new businesses. The Hatfield Group LLC has specific industry expertise in chemicals, materials, industrial bio-products, and renewable energy. We do this by identifying opportunities, de-risking those opportunities, and identifying viable entry strategies at a lower cost and at a higher speed than our clients can accomplish on their own. This is due to our unique processes, extensive industry and technical network, and experience gained from the honing of skills over dozens of similar new business projects. We also teach and license clients with our proprietary process and software: Hypothesis Directed Learning®. Hypothesis Directed Learning bridges the gap between idea generation and commercialization by systematically de-risking new business concepts. The software enables the seamless linkage of the de-risking process with a portfolio management system.
