On May 15, 2025, TechTown Detroit announced 10 semifinalists competing for a $100,000 startup grant from Comerica Bank to open storefronts in Detroit, Hamtramck, or Highland Park.
The Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest originated in 2011 to empower residents and entrepreneurs with a voice in neighborhood retail and joined TechTown's programs in 2022 to expand support.
Public voting runs from May 16 to May 23 at HatchDetroit.com to narrow semifinalists to four finalists, with final votes and presentations occurring at the June 11 Hatch Off event.
