10 start-up semi-finalists “Hatched,” voting now open
A Midtown wine bar, a Woodbridge “gypsy den” serving fine teas and a bakeshop with a big heart — these are just three of the 10 semi-finalist businesses announced in the Hatch Detroit entrepreneurial contest, which will award $50,000 and mentoring to Detroit’s favorite idea for new retail.
Voting’s now open to the public — two rounds will narrow down the pool of semi-finalists to the “Hatch Off” finale, where the budding entrepreneurs will be given five minutes to make their best pitches to a team of judges.
Head to the Hatch Detroit page to cast your votes for the top four — and come back the next day (you can vote once every 24 hours). Best of luck to all! Detroit could use all 10 of these these fresh ideas for local biz — and 10 more after that.
