Michigan Growth Capital Symposium 2018 | Michigan Growth Capital Symposium | 15 March 2018 | Mariott Resort, 1275 S Huron St, Ypsilanti, MI 48197, USA

2018 will mark the 38th anniversary of the Michigan Growth Capital Symposium, which is the longest university-based venture fair of its kind showcasing Midwest companies seeking funding and attracting top-tier investors from across the U.S.. In 2017 the MGCS teamed up with the Coulter Investment Forum to offer one premier venture capital investment event in Ann Arbor.

The joint-event hosted nearly 550 attendees where founders of early-stage companies, spanning the Life Sciences and Technology sectors, networked with angel investors, VCs and technology transfer professionals from several dozen top-ranked Universities. Join us May 15-16, 2018 in Ann Arbor to stay connected, find resources and see what keeps attendees coming back year after year.
