TechTown and University of Detroit Mercy have two entrepreneurship events planned this month.
SmartStart is the latest program from the TechTown business incubator to help start-ups ramp up their business. It will host an open house for entrepreneurs on April 29. The idea is to help entrepreneurs take their business from idea to reality. It provides one-on-one coaching, a network of local mentors and education of creating business plans, and sales pitches. "We want to get people excited about the opportunity of getting
their business to the next level," says Marlo Rencher, spokeswoman for
SmartStart.
Today, the U-D Mercy is hosting a Faculty and Student Research Symposium. Participants will have the opportunity share research and network. The symposium will be held in the Fountain Lounge of the Student Center between noon and 2 p.m. For information, send an email to Russ Davidson at
davidsor@udmercy.edu.
The SmartStart open house will be held between 4-6 p.m. at TechTown, 440 Burroughs Street. For information, click
