Donna Doleman, senior vice president of operations and communications, and Bill Mayer, vice president of entrepreneurial services at Ann Arbor SPARK recently kicked off a series of interviews with Mark Lee of Small Talk that will focus on the region’s economy. Donna and Bill discussed the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Ann Arbor and the growth of tech companies throughout the region. They talked about how the deep pool of tech talent and comparatively low costs makes Ann Arbor an attractive place to start and grow a tech business.
