Why Michigan Pulse Matters
Data, visibility, and intelligence for tech workers and founders.
Michigan’s Tech Story Has Been Fragmented
Across the state, new companies are being formed, talent pools are growing, and investment groups are assembling but the information is spread out.
Ann Arbor has one network. Grand Rapids has another. Detroit has several more.
When founders, investors, or engineers try to get a sense of what is happening statewide, they often piece together scattered sources: local news, LinkedIn posts, Slack channels, small newsletters, scattered databases, and social feeds.
When people cannot clearly see progress, they assume none exists.

Why Michigan Pulse Matters
Data, visibility, and intelligence for tech workers and founders.
Michigan’s Tech Story Has Been Fragmented
Across the state, new companies are being formed, talent pools are growing, and investment groups are assembling but the information is spread out.
Ann Arbor has one network. Grand Rapids has another. Detroit has several more.
When founders, investors, or engineers try to get a sense of what is happening statewide, they often piece together scattered sources: local news, LinkedIn posts, Slack channels, small newsletters, scattered databases, and social feeds.
When people cannot clearly see progress, they assume none exists.
Michigan Pulse Exists to Fix That Problem
Michigan Pulse focuses on real-time movement: The people and companies raising, building, hiring, pivoting, and expanding.
The premise is simple:
If Michigan can see itself clearly, it can grow faster.
Why This Matters
When visibility increases, opportunity increases:
- Founders searching for talent or partners
- Engineers evaluating new local opportunities
- Investors scanning early signals and movement
- Students considering whether to stay in Michigan
- Companies seeking regional market intelligence
As more data becomes accessible, Michigan shifts from an overlooked market to a visible, competitive one.
What Michigan Pulse Will Deliver
The platform will introduce several components designed to give the state a unified narrative:
Company Registry
A structured, verified index of who is building what in the state.
Ecosystem Intelligence
Trends, market shifts, hiring activity, and product updates.
Founder & Talent Visibility
Who’s launching, raising, and shaping the next wave of Michigan tech.
The Pulse Newsletter
A bi-weekly digest synthesizing statewide activity.
Momentum Only Builds When People See It
If Michigan wants to compete with other technology hubs, it must present itself as more than isolated clusters.
When people can point to data, charts, and stories showing actual movement, the narrative changes.
Be Part of the First Wave
The early version of Michigan Pulse launches in Q1 2026, but you can join the waitlist today to help shape the direction and gain early access.
Michigan is building. It deserves a platform that proves it.
