Detroit entrepreneur Brenna Lane of Detroit Denim Company shares her “bottom line” advice for budding entrepreneurs looking to expand and grow their businesses in Michigan.
Headquartered in Detroit, Detroit Denim Company creates customizable and made-to-order jeans. The company was founded in 2010 by Lane’s husband, Eric Yelsma, after he noticed that denim was no longer being manufactured in the United States. Lane now co-owns the company with Yelsma.
When Yelsma was laid off during the 2008 Great Recession, he seized the opportunity to follow his dreams. The company that started in the couple’s garage now employs a team working out of an old metal fabrication shop.
In this edition of 3 Takeaways, Lane shares this advice for entrepreneurs looking to launch and grow their businesses in Michigan.
