The Village Square blog and the Village of Rochester Hills are proud sponsors of the "Building the Civic 'Net" philanthropic initiative [Learn more about Building the Civic 'Net by clicking the link]. Below we've included a profile of one of our four current grantees:Detroitstartups.com was started to help shine a spotlight on all the great people starting their own companies and getting involved with entrepreneurship locally in Rochester Hills as well as Michigan in general. Coming from working at Chrysler and obtaining his MBA at Oakland University, Jake Lumetta recognizes the need for such an initiative and the importance of keeping talent here in Michigan and not growing their companies elsewhere.
The problem is right now it’s not very easy to find these people and what they are doing. That’s what this blog is all about. It’s going to be a place where you can learn about these people and connect with them. This will help bring the entrepreneurial community together and give Michigan a face of creativity and business development, making it more attractive to potential new startups.
The easiest way to get involved is to visit Detroitstartups.com and follow and comment on the blog posts. We would love to get your thoughts and ideas on how to make the site better or suggestions on which new local companies/entrepreneurs we should cover.
Another way to connect with us is by joining the DetroitStartups Facebook Group.
You can also follow along by connecting with Jake and Henry on Twitter.
We strongly encourage you to connect and get involved with DetroitStartups.com and help grow your local entrepreneurial community.
