Why Detroit

Ingenuity. Creativity. Authenticity. Grit.

Detroit has a special energy and a unique spirit, forged from the trials of deindustrialization. Ingenuity borne from scarcity. Creativity sparked by diversity. Authenticity wrought from a legacy of craftsmanship. Grit is mandatory by necessity.

Who We Are

We are Brand:Detroit

We are successful early stage founders and investors. Business building is in our DNA; Detroit runs through our blood.  Our aim is simple: to partner with outstanding founders to build iconic brands and world-class businesses that show the world what Detroit is made of.  We are on a mission to unlock the full potential of Detroit’s creative, resourceful, and industrious community. A community that has been strengthened by its history and unified through a shared sense of belonging and collective belief. Detroit founders have a story to tell, and we want to give them the tools to tell it (and spread the word far and wide).
