Detroit Startup Week: Interview With Event Lead Monica Wheat

ROYAL OAK – Monica Wheat joins M2 TechCast Co-Hosts Mike Brennan and Matt Roush to provide more details on Detroit Startup Week, scheduled for May 22-26, this year in partnership with Detroit Entrepreneur Week.

Startup businesses of every type and stage are invited to more than 100 completely free events that are designed to support startup growth and build a stronger business ecosystem in Detroit.

Wheat is lead of Detroit Startup Week and founder of Parallel Ventures. She said with almost 4,000 attendees we surpassed all other inaugural Startup Week programs in the U.S., showing the power of the Detroit entrepreneurial community and the unmatched enthusiasm Detroiters have for growing our economy. This year’s Detroit Startup Week will only gain from that momentum, she predicted.
