TechStars Mobility was originally started in Detroit as a partner with Bizdom, Dan Gilbert's now defunct startup accelerator (former participant speaking). Ross Sanders and the other Bizdom folks had a strong presence at the last Tech Stars Mobility demo day I went to. Now that Bizdom is gone, there is more oxygen for natural organic community. On a related historical note Marc Weiser and Tony Grover from RPM were active in funding Detroit startups and other MI tech from their office in Ann Arbor well before 2008. Lots of progress and growth in the Detroit startup scene, but far from the maturity that other communities have.
