Detroit Labs was founded in 2011 by Paul Glomski, Nathan Hughes, and Dan Ward — three people who believed Detroit was exactly the right place to build a different kind of software company. A Midwest work ethic. Deep engineering roots. A community that values craft over flash.

What started as a small group has grown into a team that has shipped products for some of the most recognized brands in the country. That growth didn't happen by accident. It happened because we stayed focused on the things that matter: asking the right questions, building with care, and showing up like partners at every stage.                                              

From the beginning, we believed in investing in the city that built us. We've trained developers from the Detroit area, put them to work building real things alongside our team, and looked for ways to give back to the community that gave us our start. That spirit hasn't changed.
