Which one of these 10 businesses should get $100k to start in Detroit?

Show notes

The spirit of entrepreneurship is strong in Detroit, but also - it takes resources to really get going.

That's where, since 2011, the Hatch Detroit contest has come in. One of these 10 businesses we talk to today will walk away with $100,000 in cash from Comerica Bank to make their dreams happen in Detroit, Highland Park or Hamtramck.

Today, I talk to all of them in elevator pitch format. And then you get to decide by going to https://www.hatchdetroit.com/vote and picking up to four you think are worthy, each day through noon on April 18.

Here's the rundown:

01:34 - Amarra Products

05:03 - Estella’s Vegan Dessert Boutique

07:06 - Harry Rich Clothier

09:21 - Khana

11:13 - Nada Dry Bar

13:39 - Natural Living By Design II

16:51 - Pique Earth

19:37 - The Gentleman’s Oasis

21:04 - Unity Community Barbershop

23:11 - Roller Skate Detroit
