With a portfolio of 80+ industry agnostic Michigan-based tech companies, IDV has been has been investing in the growth of Metro Detroit's tech scene for quite some time.
I was brought on to the IDV team in December of 2015. During that time, we were still branded as part of the "Invest Detroit" larger organization that focuses primarily on real-estate and commercial development. Leading into the early moments of 2016, we identified that we needed a stand alone brand to separate the two styles of investment.
We created "Invest Detroit Ventures," keeping the same look and feel of Invest Detroit while having different iconography, website, and entirely different digital presence.
Specifically, I re-worked our logo and graphic design collateral as well as redeveloping our website and subsequent photography.
This has been a super cool experience, working with a team of heavy hitters in the venture world while having my uniqueness embraced at work.
For context, Accelerate Michigan and Hacker Fellows are programs of Invest Detroit Ventures.
