Kevin Hatcher

Founder & CEO (Facebook/Meta, Coursera, Teach For America)

Expanding access to knowledge and opportunity has sewn the common thread throughout Kevin Hatcher’s professional endeavors. With AmeriCorps and Teach for America in Detroit, with Coursera and Facebook in Silicon Valley, and as a Fulbright Scholar in Morocco, each new undertaking for the past 15 years has developed more skill-building tools and scaled more life-changing resources to reach more people, grant more access, and facilitate more advancement.

Altogether these achievements have strengthened Kevin’s knack for entering new high potential arenas, capitalizing on high growth objectives, and executing strategies to build out business units from zero to one — and then from one to scale.

For the emerging cannabis industry in Detroit, Kevin’s skill set is especially optimal. Convinced that true empowerment for Detroiters demands more homegrown entrepreneurs, Kevin is devoted to bolstering members of his community with the resources, access, and support necessary to fracture cycles of poverty and leverage opportunities for business development across this new frontier.

Kevin’s ultimate vision is for Detroit to model what it means to achieve economic rebirth without discounting its most often overlooked residents in the process. Recognizing the monumental promise of economic value the cannabis industry will bring to Detroit, he regards no place better suited to prove that revitalization does not have to mean gentrification.
