Venture Capital

Michigan Venture Capital Association

Established by venture capital and private equity investors in the state, the Michigan Venture Capital Association (MVCA) is the state's premier public policy advocate for the private equity/venture capital industry. MVCA works to promote entrepreneurship and private equity investment.

Venture Capital

In four years alone, more than $694 million in venture capital has been invested in over 100 businesses in Michigan. For new emerging technology initiatives, the state has created the $150 million Venture Michigan Fund to catalyze investment in early-stage firms operating here. With the matching requirement, this initiative will attract an additional $450 million in capital to Michigan for investment in promising new companies.

Angel Networks

Michigan has three active Angel Networks: The Great Lakes Angels, The Grand Angels and The Ann Arbor Angels.

Traditional and Non-Traditional Financing

Oakland County's Business Finance Corporation and Economic Development Corporation help companies with the SBA 504 Loan and with Tax-Exempt Revenue Bond programs. Through the Automation Alley Technology Center, emerging companies can be assisted with securing non-traditional and unique sources of financing and capital.
