The Contest
For the past 10 years, Hatch Detroit has run a contest that awards up-and-coming entrepreneurs a $50K grant to build out their brick and mortar storefronts. This year, Comerica Bank is doubling their commitment and offering a $100K grant to our 2022 winner!
Number of Hatch Alums
49 of the businesses who have competed have opened their storefronts. They employ over 500 people and have invested over $10 million in economic development.
Neighborhood Initiative
In addition to investing in up and coming retail through the annual contest, Hatch Detroit has also supported established small businesses in three retail corridors: Grandmont Rosedale, West Village and the Avenue of Fashion.
