On Sunday, I finished the Detroit Marathon in 4:41:39. They ran with me in Detroit and it was super helpful to have them. The most exciting thing for me about the Detroit Marathon was that my partner Jason Mendelson completed his first marathon! I had a blast in Detroit from Friday until I left on Tuesday.

Come 2009 we felt really bullish about the future for startups because the froth was gone and so, too, were wantrapreneurs. Consumers hurting in Detroit or Biloxi will not continue to spend money they don’t have and income they’re not earning. I need leaders who manage in good times and bad.To tl;dr summary.

I’m fascinated with Detroit. When I was there in October 2012 with my partners Ryan and Jason to run the Detroit Marathon we talked about the idea of getting more involved there in some way. Jason grew up in Detroit and has lots of stories there. The local Detroit startup community engaged very powerfully in the idea.

When students drop out of a middle-tier university to join an also-ran copycat program of “20 under 20″ and when their startups aren’t successful they will likely find themselves in employment no-man’s-land.
