UM: Startups

Reuters publishes a Q&A with David Brophy, a UM business professor and founder of the Michigan Growth Capital Symposium, talking about the state’s startup culture. Says Brophy: “Along with a steady stream of research, we’ve got a rich pool of talent in tacit engineering skills here, ingrained practical manufacturing skills, based upon experience and engineering education. With an excellent quality of life, we are able to attract management talent from other parts of the country and retain our graduates at an increasing rate.” [Source]
