About Michigan

Michigan's Form D filings center on Detroit-metro (Detroit, Southfield, Ann Arbor) and Grand Rapids. Ann Arbor's University of Michigan research ecosystem produces biotech, medtech, and AI/ML filings. Detroit's automotive-industry ecosystem drives auto-tech, EV, battery, and mobility filings. Grand Rapids's medical-device and office-furniture (Steelcase, Herman Miller/MillerKnoll) clusters add distinctive filings. Round sizes vary — auto-tech filings can be large ($50M–$500M for EV and battery startups) while medtech and SaaS skew moderate. Delaware incorporation dominates; Michigan LLCs appear for real-estate vehicles.

In 2026, Michigan accounts for 27 catalogued filings totaling $352.4M, running at roughly 6.1 filings per week over the last 30 days.

About private capital in Michigan

Michigan has competitive corporate tax rates and a regulatory environment shaped by the state's automotive economy. The Detroit automotive ecosystem (GM, Ford, Stellantis, plus Tier-1 suppliers) generates ongoing auto-tech, EV, and battery-manufacturing filings, many with strategic automotive-OEM investor participation. Ann Arbor's UM ecosystem produces biotech, medtech, and tech spinouts. Grand Rapids's medical-device and furniture clusters contribute specialized filings. Real-estate vehicles target Michigan industrial and multifamily property, with occasional distressed-asset plays tied to Detroit redevelopment. Operating companies incorporate in Delaware.
