May 12-13: Michigan Growth Capital Symposium
May 9, 2009
David Brophy and the UM Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance are again hosting the most important venture capital event in the Midwest - the 28th annual Michigan Growth Capital Symposium.
It was a rough Q1 across the board for VC firms, and Michigan has been particularly challenged with only a handful of operating funds remaining in the state. But last month’s announcement of a $36M Series A for Lycera in Ann Arbor reaffirms that the nearly $3M spent every day on UM research translates into excellent venture opportunities.
MGCS will feature over 65 investment firms, 32 presenting companies, and two solid days of panels, discussions, and high-level networking. If you’re currently raising money in Michigan, you need to be at MGCS!
