Whitney Recap
{ December 14th, 2009 }
Last week’s meeting at The Whitney was a calm and reflective way to end the year. What a rich and warm aura The Whitney has with the vibe of Detroit’s storied history seeping from the walls. There were a lot of new faces, some regulars, and seems like ideas are being tossed around and perhaps some ventures taking place…..?
Elizabeth Ross of Detroit Freelance took sponsorship to a whole new level. Her presentation for her startup company with telecommunications, credit card processing, websites, servers, and promotional material was at once commanding and inspiring. Her business model of a portion of the profits going back into locally active non-profit organizations was also intriguing. Elizabeth – THANK YOU SO MUCH for sponsoring!
Stay active on the blog and Facebook and pass on your ideas. Happy Holidays. See you in February.

A simple concept: startup culture in cities around the world gathers around a bar to have a pint and discuss what they are working on, what they need help with and what they can do for each other.
