Chris Holman welcomes Phillip Swanson, Vice President of Venture Development, Centropolis Accelerator at Lawrence Tech, Southfield, MI. The Centropolis Accelerator at Lawrence Tech in Southfield, Michigan is a hard tech accelerator led by Vice President of Venture Development Phil Swanson that serves entrepreneurs across the entire state. Unlike traditional business accelerators, Centropolis focuses on guiding early-stage founders through the full process of engineering design and manufacturing, helping them move from prototype to market-ready product. The program offers both cohort-based and virtual programming, partners with regional entrepreneurial support organizations, and includes competitive analysis to help founders understand their market landscape and potential partners or acquirers. Founded by CEO Dan Radomski to bridge the gap between investor expectations and founder needs, Centropolis has produced notable success stories, including a client who went from a napkin sketch to taking preorders for a football safety performance product within 18 months. » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN’s YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/
