What is Momentum?

Momentum is a venture firm investing in web based technology start ups. We’re people who get excited about great ideas and new technology. There are millions like us, and we’re creating reasons for them to stay in Michigan.

We’re what every good idea needs at the start: Passionate geeks with a purpose.

Who’s behind Momentum?

A team of experienced entrepreneurs who act as mentors. The companies involved are business incubator, Pomegranate Studios; investment firm, The Windquest Group; and economic development organization, Lakeshore Advantage.
