Detroit Start-up Weekend inspires founding of SiteFog

SiteFog is an example of entrepreneurial exercise that appears to be happening more and more these days.

The four-person start-up got going last May at Detroit Start-up Weekend where the young co-founders met and started pitching ideas back and forth. They decided to give Kyle Mulka's cloud computing concept a go, powering up their laptops from across Metro Detroit, which most of them call home.

"We're kinda spread around Michigan," Mulka says.

SiteFog focuses on using new lines of Javascript to make cloud computing more affordable. It is also creating a way for websites to monetize their products more efficiently, such as charging a few pennies to read a story online. The team is still working on its technology and making the rounds at local entrepreneurial events, such as a recent A2NewTech meet up. And its also looking to create a revenue source or two.

"Our biggest challenge is finding customers," Mulka says.
