Testimonials from TiECon Detroit Mobility Competition

"We presented at TiECon Detroit last year and the experience was one we will not soon forget. We enjoyed shaking hands with the participants. One of the speakers was so good that you could hear a pin drop. After the pitch competition we met someone that became both a mentor and investor in our seed round that closed shortly after."
- Lyden Foust, Founder &CEO Spatial.ai

"Attending TiECon Detroit was a significantly impactful experience for my business. I was able to network with so many impressive mentors, corporate executives, and investors. My company was able find new investors and partners thanks to the connections made at the conference, all of whom were crucial for our business to grow. I would recommend attending TiEConDetroit to anyone looking to raise capital, gain insights from talented speakers, or make new connections."
