Wayne State University business incubator TechTown is highlighted in a feature profiling Detroit architects Saundra Little and Damon Thomas and their rise to success. The pair learned about running a business through TechTown’s Thrive acceleration program for aspiring entrepreneurs. “We needed help,” Little recalls of their decision to take TechTown up on its offer to help people learn how to set up and run a business. “They gave us a business culture,” says Little, noting the assistance has ranged from helping their three-partner firm get its professional liability insurance arranged to establishing an advisory board.
