Why come to Michigan?
Michigan is going through a great transformation in terms of the entrepreneurship.
In the last five years,
there's been an incredible rise of entrepreneurial activity.
Students left and right starting companies.
It's sort of in the air.
Everyone is ready to do the next big thing.
It's so exciting to be a part of something that is in that stage where it's reaching a critical mass.
There's just a lot of attention about entrepreneurship right now.
We have this budding entrepreneurial community in and around Ann Arbor
that is so supportive and so awesome.
It's an incredible ecosystem.
I think the one thing that separates the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, or even the Detroit area is that it's just a very new hub for entrepreneurship.
It's a community that's in progress, it's still building.
Here people are approaching things with a much fresher perspective.
I think it's very exciting to be part of this history making process.
This is the moment to come to Michigan and hop on the entrepreneurship wagon.
Ten years from now this is going to be such a different place and you want to be here before it starts.
There's this great network of people here
that are willing to take you under their wing and really want to help you.
There are so many people who are involved here. It's such a supportive community.
There are resources here that you can't get anywhere else.
We have a program in entrepreneurship.
Techarb, MPowered and Tedx, the Center for Entrepreneurship, Zell Lurie.
Those resources as well as the incredible people from tons of diverse backgrounds and talents
can really give you the perfect ecosystem to grow your venture into something great.
I think people are always rooting for us here and people want to see us succeed
which is very invaluable to an entrepreneur.
