Turns out our Downriver bear wasn't lost, he just had a pitch meeting at TechTown. 🐻

In case you missed it, a black bear was recently spotted roaming the Rockwood/Flat Rock area, making history as the furthest southeast a bear has ever been recorded in Michigan. Naturally, he made his way to Detroit's startup hub to do a little networking. Welcome to the ecosystem, buddy.

We are so proud of our Ops+ client, AmHyTech!

This Detroit-based clean energy startup just took home Best Newcomer at the Global Startup Awards Grand Finale in Malta, competing against top newcomers from across the globe and coming out on top.

AmHyTech is pioneering next-generation ammonia technology — making it safer, simpler, and more affordable to store and transport, and unlocking its massive potential as a carbon-free energy carrier.

From a lab at Wayne State University right here in Detroit to the world stage in Malta... this is what Detroit innovation looks like.

Congratulations to the entire AmHyTech team. We couldn't be more proud to be part of your journey!

This National Small Business Week, we're spotlighting the builders who dare to dream differently.

Ali Wazne, founder of Paradise Street Eats & Biryani , didn't follow the traditional path, and that's exactly what makes his story worth telling. He walked away from a traditional career to build a business focused in Indian fusion cuisine, and has never looked back.

"The freedom to take control of my own success is worth everything to me," he said.

Ali, thanks for sharing your story and being a part of our community. This is what small business looks like!

This week, we're celebrating the people who show up every single day with a vision, a work ethic, and the courage to bet on themselves.
Being an entrepreneur isn't easy. It takes late nights, hard pivots, and an unwavering belief in what you're building. But honestly? Watching this community show up and show out never gets old.
To every founder, maker, builder, and dreamer we've had the honor of working with: Happy National Small Business Week. Detroit is better because you're in it.
