PODCAST: Talking entrepreneurship and failure in Detroit with TechTown CEO Ned Staebler

Ned Staebler is a tall man. Me, not so much.

This week’s episode of the Daily Detroit Happy Hour Podcast takes us to the headquarters of TechTown, where we sat down with Ned Staebler, the president and CEO of the business incubator and accelerator, to talk about entrepreneurship and why Detroit needs to embrace failure.

Staebler, who’s also vice president for economic development at Wayne State University, one of the founding organizations of TechTown, is also known for his outspoken progressive political views, and we touch on that, too. And we delve into why Detroit has yet to see any of its native startups hit the jackpot.
