An intentionally innovative community
Start and grow, or land and expand into our network. We’re a community of nearly 1,000 members that are dedicated to doing good work in Metro Detroit and beyond.
What started as an idea, grew into an ecosystem.
Bamboo started in 2013 between four entrepreneurs (Amanda Lewan, Michael Ferlito, David Anderson and Brian Davis) who wanted a space to work on new ideas together. Back then we were the first coworking space in Downtown Detroit. Now, we’ve expanded our mission to grow Detroit’s ecosystem receiving honors locally and nationally for our work.
Community First. Diverse. Entrepreneurial.
We host hundreds of events each year, from pre-accelerators to happy hours, to panels with national speakers – you’ll stay inspired. Connect to mentors or collaborators. We are here to help you thrive.
Hundreds of companies have called Bamboo home over the years, from startups to unicorns, to activists and artists. No idea is too big or too small.

Bamboo has given me community, a team of folks in the same phase of life as I am in. We’re all building, creating, learning and failing together.

I've had the opportunity to work out of both the Detroit and Royal Oak location and Bamboo, as a whole, is by far the greatest work environment you will find in the area.
