Concours Comerica Hatch Detroit Hatch Off

Join us at the Hatch Off to watch the Top 4 finalists of the 2026 Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest compete for a cash grant to open up their brick-and-mortar retail business!

The finalists will make one last pitch in front of a panel of judges and a live audience. Thanks to Comerica Bank’s support, the winning business will be awarded $100,000! The winner will also receive an in-kind business support package from TechTown Detroit and its partners. We’ll make a dream come true, and you’ll have a front-row seat.

Tickets are $25 and include complimentary drinks and small bites from Hatch Detroit alumni businesses. A donation with your ticket purchase will help provide dedicated support to Hatch alumni as they continue their entrepreneurial journey of opening a storefront.

This is a celebration of all things local in Detroit: food, music, and fun!
