There are many unsung positive stories about Detroit, and one of the biggest is the impressive fertile ground that the city provides for innovation. Many people think of Silicon Valley as the country’s technology Mecca, but Detroit – and Michigan at large – have a growing pool of talent, resources and funding available for promising entrepreneurs. In fact, Michigan was the fastest growing state in venture capital activity in 2012.
One firm looking to fund bright ideas is the newly formed Detroit Innovate, a seed-stage investment fund that fuels the formation and development of high-growth companies in the Detroit region. When Detroit Innovate came to us for a website, we set out to make it as innovative and unique as the startups they support.
