The ecosystem for startups has been steadily growing in Traverse City, Michigan and the entire Northern Michigan region. It's a lovely, affordable place to live, and as remote work grows, more and more skilled workers have gravitated to the area.
And Michigan, and particularly Northern Michigan, have done a great job of supporting the ecosystem for those who want to create their own businesses. Traverse City has steadily created more and more resources for startups and entrepreneurs, in spite of the pandemic.
And that has led to an outpouring of enthusiasm and events in the form of an inaugural Norther Michigan Startup Week. Two of the organizers are 20 Fathoms, a co-working space, and TCNewTech, an organization helping startups with training and connections and other support.
Keri Amlotte, from 20 Fathoms, and Jennifer Szunko, from TCNewTech, join The Savvy Entrepreneur to talk about some of the key activities surrounding Northern Michigan Startup Week. They also share their thoughts on how to successfully build a startup ecosystem.
