ABOUT MICHIGAN FOUNDERS FUND
Collectively contributing to a stronger, more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem where we live and operate.
Michigan Founders Fund is a network of entrepreneurs and investors who have pledged 1% of equity or carry to support impactful local organizations throughout the state who are doing the work to better our communities and enrich quality of life.
Our Mission
To grow the presence of successful high-growth ventures and advance civic leadership in Michigan’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our network of entrepreneurs and venture capitalists have taken the Michigan Pledge, committing 1 percent of equity or return on investment into a fund for state-based grantmaking.
We accomplish this by:
- Creating a strong, inclusive, and active founder-to-founder support network to help leaders succeed in their ventures;
- Driving a for-purpose, founders-for-founders and founders-for-community culture;
- Providing founders with a simple mechanism for philanthropic giving and opportunities to become community leaders in parallel to being business leaders.
Our Values & Pillars of Growth
CONNECTION
Ongoing support through the sharing of ideas, struggles and experiences leads to better chances of success.
Founders seeing themselves and finding fellowship through peer exchange and relationship building.
CULTURE
The capability to relate and work effectively across cultures can transform companies and communities.
Setting the foundation for equity and inclusion.
COMMUNITY
The more we understand community needs and risks in relationship to the needs of emerging companies, the better equipped we are to positively affect both.
Creating groundedness to and generating capital for MI.
A FUTURE BEYOND TOMORROW
These pillars lay the foundation to collectively create the future we want to see across our state. Entrepreneurs working together and with community leaders results in a stronger, more sustainable Michigan.
