Entrepreneurs in Michigan have the opportunity to win $100,000 in a statewide pitch competition called PitchMI. The competition is geared towards promoting innovation in the mobility and transportation sector. Michigan’s Chief Growth Officer, Hilary Doe, emphasized the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation in driving the state’s growth. The competition aims to support ideas that revolutionize transportation in Michigan, making it safer, more affordable, and efficient.
Pitching is a crucial part of the startup process, and organizations like Innovate Marquette provide training and mentorship to help entrepreneurs perfect their pitch. Pitch Michigan offers young entrepreneurs a platform to connect with resources and potentially secure funding for their ideas. Justin Carlson, CEO of Invivus Technologies, is currently working on a pitch for Mold Map, a technology that monitors indoor air quality. He stressed the importance of accessing resources to bring ideas to fruition.
