Today's show cover a couple of topics in one conversation, both important for the future of the city.
Darren Riley, founder and CEO of JustAir, and Justin Onwenu, the director of entrepreneurship for the city of Detroit.
Darren discussed the inspiration behind JustAir, and idea that came from his own health challenges.
The conversation touched on how the company is trying to inform environmental and health policy, particularly zoning decisions.
JustAir is different from your phone's weather app because it can provide data from the block level and is working toward making that information accessible like a nutrition label, so folks can make informed choices about going outside.
Justin then discussed the city's investment and focus on providing access grants through the new Detroit Startup Fund. He highlighted that capital, customers, and community are all important and what the city is doing to encourage new companies.
