About #FLFDETROIT

FLF (Free Lunch Friday) believes to feed our global economy we need to start by feeding our startups and entrepreneurs. And to do that we are launching FLF locations around the world where startups and entrepreneurs gather on the last Friday of every month for real human interaction and community. At these locations you can connect with startups, entrepreneurs, mentors, experts, partners, and investors all while enjoying some free, beer, and community.

Join FLF Detroit the last Friday of every month! 

This month's event is at:
Atomic Object
1407 Randolph, Suite 300
Detroit, MI 48226-2298

Agenda

Every FLF location operates from the same agenda. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, if you stop into a FLF you can expect the same community and experience. Join in and lets get started.
