Co-Founder and VP, Business Development at Detroit Labs, Dan Ward, tells us more:
1. Tell us about Detroit Labs.
The idea for Detroit Labs had been kicked around for a little while then Detroit Venture Partners decided to run with it. The four co-founders were pulled from all different segments of business and technology to form a team. The four of us had never worked with each other and for the most part had not met until we started Detroit Labs.
2. Name a fun fact about Detroit Labs.
The team is constantly fighting over who gets to play the music and they also participate in team workouts called “Extreme.”
3. What does your ideal Venture Fellow look like?
Ideally we would like someone with a deep technical background and passion. We are very focused on mobile so experience in iOS or Android would be ideal.
4. What does the daily office routine look like?
We don’t have a daily office routine. Other than client stand up meetings, our guys come and go as they please, play loud music and have lots of freedom. As long as client work is getting done then it is very unstructured.
