Detroit Businesses
Lauren Hoffman
I’m the Director of Entrepreneurship for the Quicken Loans Family of Companies, where my team and I put on the annual Quicken Loans Detroit Demo Day, which awards over $1M to Detroit-based businesses. This job puts me in touch with a ton of businesses in the city making amazing products and growing the local economy.
I love trying and buying products from Detroit-based companies because – in addition to getting excellent quality – I know my consumer dollars are going back into the local economy and helping to create jobs and opportunities for Detroiters.
