My keynote from the Midwest Growth Capital Symposium at @MichiganRoss on how to multiply startup success. TL;DR: you need a community of founders helping founders! https://speakerdeck.com/dugsong/midwest-mavericks?slide=7 #midwestgcs #mgcs #michiganfoundersfund

Back in Austin for #SXSW at http://midwesthouse.org (née @Michigan_House :-) with #MichiganFoundersFund, @Venture313, @EndeavorDetroit, @CityGrandRapids, @AnnArborSPARK, @MEDC, etc. founders, funders, & supporters!

I helped relocate http://bettercontext.ai from Vietnam / Singapore to Michigan this summer with an H1B assigned to @waynestate from @GlobalDET, and celebrated their $1.2m raise w/ #MichiganFoundersFund & @42geeksofficial friends in #Detroit :-)

#BeKinderThanNecessary created billions in value at @duosec by removing barriers to brilliance, and grounding us in gratitude. It’s also the ethos of our #MichiganFoundersFund - founders helping founders, founders for community https://speakerdeck.com/dugsong/midwest-mavericks #givefirst
