A Shark Tank style pitch competition is coming to Michigan, seeking to give startups the resources they need to succeed.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer took the stage at the Mackinac Policy Conference to announce PitchMI is looking for the BEST businesses to solve Michigan’s problems. She says it builds on a LOT of recent momentum.

The eyes of the world are on us as we do this,” Whitmer said. “We’ve won manufacturing projects from Corning, Piston Automotive, and so many more. We’re making the largest investment to build affordable housing in Michigan history, and just yesterday we raised our housing goal. We’ve made a lot of progress and kept on telling our story.

Whitmer says the public competition is open to everyone in Michigan.
