Midwest Startups and Remote Businesses
Midwest Tech Startups
Ann Arbor Tech Companies & Startups
Ann Arbor is home to hundreds of software, security, life sciences, sustainable energy, biomedical, AR/VR, and mobility tech companies, VCs and angel funds, and even a growing list of indie gaming studios. This list includes companies and related groups featured in frequent networking groups around town and the Tech Trek but is not exhaustive and is an expanding list. If you run or work for a tech company you would like listed here, please contact the editor.
Note: We will be expanding to lists of remote businesses around the Great Lakes and Midwest region and beyond. As you can imagine, this is a work in progress. If you have a company to add to a list in or around Michigan or the Midwest or that is remote using AI support tools, please contact us and we will add it to our lists for publication. Thanks for your interest.

Detroit Tech Startups & Startup Support Orgs
Ann Arbor-Detroit are distinct but integrated metro areas when it comes to tech. From world-class mobility tech engineering talent and advanced manufacturing to tech-enabled social impact ventures, Detroit is a perfect opportunity for bootstrapping ventures and partnerships with local corporations in established industries. The following list is always growing and by no means exhaustive as there are many hundreds of large and small mobility tech and advanced manufacturing companies in Detroit. This list highlights some tech-related programs and companies to connect with in the tech space in Detroit as it is tangential to other tech-related industries. This tech-focused list is presented separately from our Ann Arbor list for convenience of mapping geographically. If your Detroit tech company is not listed, please contact the editor to be added and interviewed on Cronicle. Thanks for your interest.

West Michigan & Great Lakes Tech Startups & Business Support Organizations
Work In Progress.... Cronicle is expanding coverage of Michigan and the Great Lakes tech industries across the Great Lakes region in 2020. We are still based in and initially focused on growing tech hub Ann Arbor-Detroit, but will be connecting with a number of incubators, startups, tech-oriented companies, and pitch competitions across the state of Michigan as we really get going to highlight tech in the Great Lakes region and connect founders across silos and communities. Please check back for specific lists of Grand Rapids, Lansing, Houghton, Traverse City, and other west and northern Michigan cities along with Chicago and Toledo, and other Great Lakes cities with a growing number of tech companies and startups. Thanks for your patience. If you would like to be listed here or interviewed on Cronicle, please contact the editor.
