We're thrilled to have attended the 2023 DEI Undemo Day event, where we had the pleasure of engaging with some of Michigan's most promising early-stage companies and technologies led by diverse founders. The virtual event highlighted companies from the Midwest and Central U.S. led by women, people of color and other diverse communities.

Our team also gave a brief presentation on our Michigan Rise PO Financing program, which can help support these innovative businesses as they continue to scale and succeed. Thanks to our friends at @RenaissanceVentures for hosting another exceptional event. by @msuresearchfoundation
