Tried two different ways to get my app in front of Detroit investors

For three months, I only went to the big, fancy networking events downtown. Last month, I started showing up at the smaller meetups at places like TechTown and the Green Garage. The smaller groups actually listened, gave me real feedback, and I got my first two serious meetings from one at Bamboo Detroit. Has anyone else found the smaller local spots work better than the big ticket events?

Interesting! It seems like the smaller groups have a different goal, maybe more about building up the local scene. Do you think that's why they were more open to listening?

Totally! I read a blog post that said smaller scenes focus on community, not just ticket sales. Makes sense they'd listen more.

Spot on, they need that local love to survive.
