Founders First Fridays - Detroit
2025-04-04 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Detroit) | New Lab
The first Friday of each month, founders get together to connect, share their challenges, and be resources for each other. This is a casual meetup with no set agenda, just Founders helping Founders.
​​Founders First Fridays is held in multiple cities across the state so all founders have a place to connect with the other great folks building companies here in Michigan. Hope to see you there!
​​Who should come?

​Active ​high-growth startup founders
​​Founders considering significantly scaling their companies
​​Experienced founders who have raised venture or high-growth capital

​​What to expect

​Build relationships with fellow founders
​​Sharing challenges and discussing issues together in a judgment free zone
​​Sharing your own experience and expertise with other founders

​​This event is specifically designed for founders to connect and support each other. We kindly ask that if you’re not a founder, you allow this space to be dedicated to founders only. We also ask that this is a sales-free zone – no selling to other founders!
​Your understanding and respect for this founder-focused environment are greatly appreciated.
