Model D Speaker Series: Opportunity to Grow
Join us this Wednesday, March 20 for a special evening at the Detroit Mercantile Co. (3434 Russell St.) in Eastern Market to learn more about Detroit's growing economy. Yes, we're talking "gazelles." Sign up today.

Much ado is made about small business startups, but the lion’s share of job growth is actually created by “gazelles” — fast-growing companies that double their size over a four-year period. Where are these businesses in Detroit? What are their secrets? How do we make more of them?
