I'm quite young (15) and have spent time growing up outside of Detroit. A career I find really interesting is urban planning, and I spend a lot of time thinking about Detroit and how we could help move it forward.

im a metro detroiter, millennial, who started two businesses and sought help from the regional chamber, several times, and never heard back from them. the notion that detroit has a real startup ecosystem is a front. there's no practical assistance to startups, just lip service, and even that is shit. i wish it were different but its not. detroit's startup ecosystem is either in its infancy or a passing trend, im leaning more toward the latter.
