More than 900 attendees turned out to network with entrepreneurs from across the state and interact with compelling new businesses that are driving innovation and job creation here in Michigan. The state-of-the-art facilities at Skyline High School provided an appropriate venue for the diverse, innovative crowd on-hand. Notable companies in attendance included:
- Franklin-based CircleBuilder, winner of the elevator pitch competition and developers of faith-based private social networks,
- Ypsilanti-based WhereToFindCare, winner of the Twitter business idea competition and creators of a free online healthcare research platform for consumers, and
- Ann Arbor-based Current Motor Company, designer and manufacturer of electric motorscooters.
To close out the evening, Michigan Economic Development Corporation Vice President Ned Staebler announced the launch of a new $100,000 SmartZone award as part of the Great Lakes Entrepreneur’s Quest Business Plan Competition. Companies that wish to apply for the competition and vie for the award need to submit a business plan and apply for sponsorship with a local SmartZone by April 23. Click here to learn more.
The ACE 2010 event was an outstanding demonstration of the start-up community and entrepreneurial spirit that is helping Michigan to move its economic recovery forward one small business at a time, and we were inspired by all the amazing people we encountered. Best of luck to all of you entrepreneurs out there!
