New Majority Venture Summit is coming to Detroit, and Black Tech Saturdays is proud to be the official partner.

Saturday, October 17. The Garden Theater. Noon to 7pm.

Melissa Bradley put it plainly: the decisions happen after you leave the room. Whether you're pitching a banker, a foundation, or an investor, this summit opens up that black box and shows you how the people with the money actually decide. She can't promise you'll leave with a check. She can promise you'll leave better prepared.

New Majority looked for thriving entrepreneurial ecosystems across the country, and Detroit made the list. This is their last stop of the year, and we want the room full of the builders who make this city what it is.

It's also Sweetest Day. So sleep in, grab breakfast, and come on over. There will be food, music, networking, and something special for the gentlemen.

Seats are limited. There are two ways in:

1. Put your name on the list at luma.com/blacktech-nmge (link in bio). If you're selected for a ticket, we'll let you know one week before the summit.
2. Get your ticket now for $49 with the BTS community code BTS2026.

Come out and get a sweet deal. We'll see you there.

@blackjoykitchen the food is worth the wait and the price because it’s not your typical restaurant. It’s community- inside and outside the building. @morninggloryfarmmv by @bradleyml

Last chance to register for Customer Acquisition with exited founder and VC, Melissa Bradley.

Too many founders spend their earliest days chasing investors instead of chasing customers. Tomorrow, Melissa is breaking down how to build a business around demand, not just a pitch deck.

You’ll learn how to:

• Find and understand the customers most likely to buy
• Build a repeatable customer acquisition system
• Focus on revenue and customer needs before fundraising
• Turn early customer feedback into a stronger offer
• Stop guessing where your next customer will come from

Tomorrow at 3PM.
