In this episode of the Impact Michigan podcast, we chat with Steven Mazur, Cofounder/CEO at Ash & Erie. 

A metro-Detroit native, Steven has grown to love the city and its people. So much so that he moved back to start his career and eventually found a company. Going through the startup-world famous Venture for America program, he took his learnings and experiences back with him to Detroit to help grow Waymark (also a Detroit startup) and eventually cofound Ash & Erie. After pitching their company on Shark Tank, Steven and his co-founder, Eric, landed a deal with none other than Mark Cuban. 

We chat about growing up in similar zipcodes, Venture for America being a "people accelerator," his experience on Shark Tank, working with Mark Cuban, and a whole lot more.
