Marlo Rencher, PhD, CDE, president of Detroit Means Business, recently had their research published with three other colleagues in the Journal of Business Anthropology!
Their essay, “Re-Centering Race in Emancipatory Entrepreneurship: Black Female Tech Founders, Money, and Meaning in a Detroit-Based Incubator Program,” explores “the perceptions and attitudes of Black female tech entrepreneurs towards capitalism in the context of an incubator program in Detroit” and the importance of understanding “minority entrepreneurs’ historical inequalities and lived experiences with capitalism.” Data presented in this essay comes from an ethnographic study of STEM Entrepreneurial Excellence Program (STEEP), a TechTown business incubator program.
Detroit Means Business and the DEGC are proud of Marlo and congratulate her for this amazing accomplishment!
