After 5 Detroit has become so successful it's spinning out subsidiaries. The latest addition is
Connect After 5, a web site aimed more at businesses than people.
The idea is to help area employers attract and retain young professional talent and boost employee morale by helping organize after work events, like a broomball tournament at Campus Martius for the likes of Compuware, Ernst & Young, Miller Canfield, Health Plan of MI and Marketing Associates.
"We create fun events and opportunities for the employees to engage in outside of company walls," says Kerry Doman, founder & CEO of
After 5 Detroit.
After 5 Detroit has been growing itself this year. It has added 10 independent contractors and three interns since May. Doman expects to increase the number of interns to five in January and increase staff even more next year as After 5 Detroit looks to create another subsidiary or two.
"As the business grows, we plan to grow accordingly," Doman says.
