Mentors of Michigan Tech: Ed Vielmetti and A2B3

If you’re looking to get connected to Ann Arbor tech, one group you might overlook is the A2B3 lunch networking group, which has been around for 13 years now. It’s mostly tech folks but is a nice way to meet professionals around town because it includes people from all walks. A2B3 is run by long-time Ann Arbor tech guy Ed Vielmetti (whom you really should be following on Twitter) and 2 other organizers, and meets at various rotating restaurants around downtown Ann Arbor after its original meetup location at Eastern Accents closed down several years back.

ShiftUp Builds Tech Community in Detroit & The Online Ed Space

The Third Space. Community. It’s a topic that has rolled around communities lately because of the growth of online education and the disconnected social structure of modern society. Some companies are now doing more than starting meetups. Ray Batra, founder of ShiftUp, is a new community builder in the online education space surrounding technology. The company is brand new, Detroit-based, and plans to expand to other topics but has started in coding because it’s one of the learning spaces that most benefits from support and peer learning.

Reinvestment & A2 Culture with Jordan Martz of Databricks

The problem with growing Ann Arbor tech faster than it’s already growing, according to Databricks Solutions Architect and Partner Jordan Martz, is that, like him, we travel to Silicon Valley and come back here to work with diffuse teams, but we don’t open offices or reinvest here.
