It starts with a dream

Ours is to be a business accelerator like no other.  To rocket your unstoppable talent, drive and determination to heights unknown.

 

Our Detroit roots hold the ultimate inspiration, the legendary Motown Records and its founder Barry Gordy, Jr. 

 

Motown’s unique approach launched more superstars than virtually any other record label in history, enabling Gordy to turn his initial investment of just $800 into a $61MM exit for himself, equivalent to $135MM in today's dollars.

Gordy’s success model included a group of experts who could take unrefined singers and turn them into hit-makers. This “Artistic Development” team included the people, processes and financial resources required to make superstars – songwriters, arrangers, producers, choreographers, public speaking experts and even etiquette teachers – all working toward the same goal.

 

GOTOWN’s “Success Acceleration” team works the same way for technology entrepreneurs. Our team of proven experts – business planners, investors, lawyers, marketers, tech pros, researchers –  provide the highest quality business resources, processes and capital funding to launch and grow tomorrow’s technology superstars.
