What does the climate for investment & risk look like once you get off the coasts and into the Midwest? Michigan has combination of global corporate funders and traditional venture investors that make for an interesting funding climate that's emblematic of much of the rest of the midwest. This panel will examine the funding climate in Michigan, discuss some of the big wins, and ask what steps needed to be taken to improve the ecosystem.
