It's a myth that only the top startups and the best startup jobs are in Silicon Valley or New York City. As a Midwest company built for Midwest startups, we know that’s just not true.

In 2020, Glassdoor came out with a list of the top 25 U.S. Cities for jobs. And guess what—most of the cities on the list, were in the Midwest. Detroit ranked #10. Then LinkedIn came out with their list of the top cities to launch your career in. Detroit ranked #8—again, that's out of the whole country.

In the last decade, Detroit has seen a huge growth in tech employment. That, plus the growing number of startups, affordable cost of living, and vibrant community, make it a great place to live and work.

So what are the companies that are putting Detroit on the tech hub map? Check out the top Detroit startups and tech companies to watch in 2021.
