An intentionally innovative community
Start and grow, or land and expand with us.
We’re a community of nearly 1,000 members that are dedicated to doing good work in Metro Detroit and beyond.
Creating the environment
for innovation.
Through flexible space and community programming, we empower our members' success. What started as an idea in 2013 between four entrepreneurs (Amanda Lewan, Michael Ferlito, David Anderson and Bran Davis) has grown into a thriving ecosystem.
We envision a more inclusive and innovative world, where entrepreneurs have access to space and resources needed. We value our diversity, empower entrepreneurship, and create community to grow together. Bamboo has been honored locally and nationally.
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.
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.
