We Are Michigan Founders Fund
A founder-led network of high-growth entrepreneurs committed to fellowship, cultural intention and funding solutions that uplift the communities across the state where we live and operate.
“Founders are driven to create the future, often in spite of anyone’s better judgment. It can be hard for such folks to relax – but coming together at the retreat, we can recharge off each other’s energy, inspiration, and care for one another. No founder in Michigan has to go it alone. You belong here, and you belong with us!”
– Dug Song
