  • 2020 MASSCHALLENGE FEASIBILITY STUDY Abstract
    2020 MASSCHALLENGE FEASIBILITY STUDY Abstract Detroit’s entrepreneurial and investment community has seen significant expansion and success in the past six years. However, the city is not without obstacles. While the number of innovative, enthusiastic startups is continuing to grow, projections suggest that there will not be enough capital available in the coming years to adequately fund them. Additionally, despite the high percentage of people of color in Detroit, both racial minorities and women are consistently underrepresented within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Thus, more work needs to be done to connect high-potential new businesses in the region to a robust pipeline of capital. In this study, EntryPoint assesses the viability of hosting such an initiative, the MassChallenge accelerator program, in Detroit. Specifically, this report provides a comprehensive analysis of Detroit’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, including successes and opportunities for improvement, capital and resources currently available in the community, a detailed overview and analysis of the MassChallenge initiative, and evaluates the resources offered by MassChallenge in terms of the specific needs of the growing entrepreneurial ecosystem in Detroit. Ultimately, this study finds that, while MassChallenge accelerators have demonstrated themselves to be helpful for startups, investors, and communities, the potential benefits of hosting such an initiative to the city in its current economic climate would not justify its significant expense. Instead, EntryPoint suggests that a program with a greater focus on providing capital and supporting regional companies would be of greater benefit. Table of Contents Part I: Detroit’s High-tech Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Part II: Analysis of Resources Available to Detroit Entrepreneurs Part III: Overview of the MassChallenge Initiative Part IV: Implications of Hosting “MassChallenge Detroit” Part I: Detroit’s High-tech Entrepreneurial Ecosystem 2019 was a pivotal year for the development of Detroit’s entrepreneurial and investment activity.
