Join us for Michigan's 2014 Social Entrepreneurship Showcase, the state's premier event for social entrepreneurs and impact investors.

This year's Showcase will feature leading impact investors across the venture capital, philanthropic and crowdfunding spaces, alongside the state's top social entrepreneurs. Discover what it takes to build a social enterprise from the ground up and secure investment to make a positive difference in our state!

Prize winners from this year's Michigan Corps Social Entrepreneurship Challenge will present their innovative solutions to our state's toughest challenges, and industry leaders will provide feedback and insights. All participants will have a chance to vote on a People's Choice Award which will send one social entrepreneur home with a cash grant of $1,000!
