There has never been a better time or place to launch a dream than in Detroit at this very minute, and we want to help. Let’s build a retail business together. You and us. And him, and her, and all their friends. We call it “crowd entrepreneurship,” and we think it is exactly what the D needs right now. We aren’t talking high-­tech businesses here. We want the bricks and mortar retail stores that are at the core of a vibrant downtown neighborhood. Always wanted to open a coffee shop? Yoga studio? Home goods store? Art gallery? Hatch Detroit is about engaging people, pooling ideas, talents and resources, and helping to “hatch” and support retail businesses that will truly have a community impact. Did we mention that there is $50,000 in startup capital up for grabs?
