Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest is back!
Comerica Bank and Hatch Detroit announce the return of the Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest and $100,000 donation from Comerica Bank to this year’s winner.
The contest, which is returning for the first time since 2019, aims to promote small business economic development in Detroit. This exciting news comes on the heels of the newly-formed partnership between TechTown Detroit and Hatch Detroit.
Entrepreneurs with a retail concept looking to open a brick-and-mortar location in Detroit, Highland Park or Hamtramck can submit their business plans now through May 12.
The four-month contest includes two rounds of public voting – Top 10 and Top 4 – allowing the community to vote for their favorite businesses to win the $100,000 grand prize as well as a package of accounting, legal, IT and public relations support from Hatch Detroit and its partners. The contest concludes July 21 with the annual “Hatch Off.”
