Detroit Startup Week 2019

Want to build your next software or mobile app idea into a
profitable company backed by private investors? Building a
software company in the Midwest is not easy, but you do have
some major advantages you can leverage to get the edge you
need to succeed. Sure, you don’t have access to hundreds of
venture capital firms managing billions of dollars all focused on
software startups like you would in Silicon Valley, but you do
have access to some great funding programs at the state and
local levels, an incredibly affordable cost of living, and some of
the best software development talent in the world right here in
Detroit. This presentation will give you a high-level roadmap of
how to leverage these and other great resources to scale your
startup from an idea into an agile MVP, and then into a
profitable company even if you don’t have much (or any) capital
or software development experience to start with.
