Access to Capital – Private or Strategic Investment

Michigan is home to over a dozen angel investment groups and many venture capital funds all interested in promising new technology companies. In addition, Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) provides public funding through several managed funds that invest in early-stage companies. Some foundations and investors provide impact investments into companies that engage in activities with a social impact component. Transformative Technologies collaborates with many of these organizations and can assist you to prepare your company materials in order to best position for success raising capital. We also work with various national and international corporations with internal venture capital funds who often seek strategic investments in emerging tech companies.
