Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced this week that applications are open for PitchMI, a statewide shark tank style pitch competition. Through the competition, Michigan’s Growth Office will invest $100,000 in one innovative solution that transforms the way residents get from point A to point B safely, affordably, and efficiently.

PitchMI:

    • The competition is open to pre-seed, seed, Series A, and Series B companies with 51% of their employees residing in Michigan.
    • The competition is scheduled for Thursday, October 24 at 2:30 p.m. during the Office of Future Mobility and Electrification’s inaugural MI Future Mobility Conference at Newlab in Detroit.
