The organization defines itself as "a community of entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, service providers and corporate partners creating an internationally recognized entrepreneurial village in the city of Detroit."[1] TechTown is part of the Wayne State University system.[1] It was founded in 2000 by Wayne State University, Henry Ford Health System, and General Motors.[2]
