Mobility startups offer advice from downtown Detroit

Running a business can sometimes feel like learning to fly a plane. While you’re in the air, there’s no time to read the manual. You’re constantly making adjustments, simply trying to stay level. Fortunately, if you’re starting a company in today’s dynamic mobility industry, there are plenty of experienced ‘pilots’ to help you get your idea off the ground.

Meet the Techstars Mobility Accelerator Class of 2018.

We paid a visit to downtown Detroit to ask these mobility startup companies what advice they would give to other entrepreneurs as a mobility startup, as well as what they have taken away from their time in Detroit. They’ve been there and are sharing their stories-- from what to consider when developing hardware, to ensuring that your pitch is broad enough to appeal to a mobility-based worldview while remaining efficient enough to demonstrate a viable market strategy.

Connect with PlanetM on LinkedIn and Twitter to learn more about how startups like these are transforming our transportation ecosystem.
