After the Detroit Technology Exchange (DTX) team presentations, Jeffrey caught up with Shreya Arora, CEO and Co-Founder of Realtime, a company which helps people post and find local Pop-Up events.

She shares how the idea, formed in January, was able to leverage DTX to go from being everything to everyone, down to a more cohesive business model. Jeffrey then spoke with DTX veteran, Joe Tuchman, who had co-founded AiirShare, which essentially offered carpooling for plane trips. Joe shares the story of how DTX was a great experience, as his project was a part of last year’s program. The company hit regulatory concerns and it closed the project down. However, now he’s going on to mentor other entrepreneurs.
