Big news! The votes are in (13,000 came in to be exact), and the Top 4 finalists of the 2025 Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest by TechTown are here. Congratulations to Detroit Culture & Clay, Halie & Co, Livy’s Sweet Rolls and Walter Pat’s Bakery Cafe! Public voting continues through the end of the Hatch Off on Wednesday, June 11.
We are hours away from the Hatch Off, during which we’ll crown the winner of the 2025 Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest by TechTown! This is your last chance to purchase tickets!
You can cheer these finalists on at the Hatch Off! They will each have a final shot to pitch their businesses and what it would mean for them to open a brick-and-mortar in Detroit, Hamtramck or Highland Park. The winner will receive a $100,000 grant from Comerica Bank and a package of in-kind services from TechTown and its partners. We’ll also serve up complimentary small plates and beverages from Hatch Detroit alumni small businesses. Bring out the entire family for an evening of celebrating Detroit entrepreneurship! Tickets are $25 — get yours today!
