About

Travis Hermiz builds businesses that refuse to blend in

Travis Hermiz is a Michigan-based entrepreneur, real estate investor, and the founder behind Detour — one of the state's most distinctive cannabis brands. His work spans property acquisitions and development on one side, and consumer brand building on the other, tied together by a simple conviction: the boldest version of an idea is usually the right one.

He started where a lot of Michigan operators start — buying, fixing, and holding real estate, learning how value actually gets created over years rather than quarters. That long-game mindset carried into cannabis, where he set out to build something with a real personality instead of another interchangeable label on a dispensary shelf.

Today his focus is the same across every venture: sharp product, sharper branding, and experiences worth talking about. Culture first, hype second, quality always.

What drives me

Four rules behind every venture

  • 01

    Build bold

    Safe ideas get ignored. Every venture starts with a point of view strong enough to be remembered.

  • 02

    Bet on culture

    Brands win when they belong to people. Culture, community, and voice come before the media buy.

  • 03

    Obsess over product

    The packaging gets attention; the product earns the second purchase. Quality is the whole strategy.

  • 04

    Play the long game

    Real estate taught patience. Compounding beats hype, in buildings and in businesses alike.
