Startup Grind Lansing aims to give entrepreneurs a boost

http://www.digitalprimates.net/

A national organization designed to inspire and educate entrepreneurs is coming to Lansing. It’s called Startup Grind. The Lansing Startup Grind will hold its first meeting on Thursday night. Startup Grind was formed in 2010 and has grown to 150 cities in 65 countries.Startup Grind Lansing’s first meeting is on Thursday at 6 p.m. at the East Lansing Technology Innovation Center on East Grand River Avenue.

Current State speaks with David Smith, director of Lansing’s new Startup Grind, and  the Lansing group’s first speaker, Michael Labriola. He’s the founder and senior consultant with a consulting firm called Digital Primates, based in the Chicago area.

Scott Pohl has maintained an on-call schedule reporting for WKAR following his retirement after 36 years on the air at the station.
WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
