Overview

Hatch Bloomington is a retail pitch competition located in the City of Bloomington that gives ambitious entrepreneurs the opportunity to win a $100,000 financial assistance award, significant exposure, and a robust business network to tap into.

​

As a result of growing economic and business partnerships throughout the Metro area, the competition is hosted by both the City of Bloomington and the Minneapolis Regional Chamber. Ideal pitches will include a storefront presence in the community – we are looking to boost investment in the City and revitalize commercial corridors.

​

The City wants the growing small business community to reflect local market demands. As such, the competition will include community buy-in: residents will be able to vote during the final judging rounds.
