🚀 Celebrating Innovation and Growth in Detroit with David Cohen , CEO of Techstars! 🚀 Yesterday Techstars Detroit had the opportunity to meet and hear from David Cohen on the State of Innovation. What impressed me was David's unwavering passion for fostering entrepreneurial growth in Detroit. As CEO of Techstars, David has been pivotal in building vibrant ecosystems that support founders and startups in the city, helping Detroit reclaim its place as a hub for innovation. His love for Detroit and its accomplishments shined through in his efforts to have a discussion on ways to uplift local talent, connecting startups to global markets and resources while also ensuring that innovation thrives, while making himself available to conduct sessions to help entrepreneurs and the ecosystem here. What excited me most about David’s interaction is how he continues to see Detroit and Techstars as being a city of opportunity, where creativity, resilience, and innovation intersect. 💡 Detroit is rising, and leaders like Monica Wheat and Chacho Valadez are making sure it stays on that upward trajectory! 💡 Laura Grannemann Jeremy Potter Jibreel Lockhart Meagan Ward Joey Mullick #Techstars #DavidCohen #DetroitInnovation #Entrepreneurship #StartupEcosystem

It had seemed like a faraway dream. ✨ A dream of my circular economy project being accepted into a startup incubator. Well, it has! One created by Google, BeCentral, BeAngels and Bruxelles Formation. How blessed to have your support from the outset. 🙏❤️ Last night was our first incredible masterclass. I don’t think anyone in the room was naïve to the fact that this will be a tough and long road. We can certainly all handle the truth that many of our companies will fail (and fail, and fail again 💪). But guess what? All successful companies have one thing in common. Yes. 💫 They all had to be founded in the first place. 💫 So here we go. WeAreFounders. I am a founder. Now it begins! 🚀 #Entrepreneurship #Startups #CircularEconomy #Grateful #Support #Believe
