She will also receive technical assistance from TechTown Detroit and its partners. The other three finalists, Detroit Culture & Clay, Halie and Co and Livy’s Sweet Rolls, each received $10,000 for their business, courtesy of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation’s Small Business Support Hubs program.
