City Side Ventures is a driven venture group of experienced business builders, die-hard serial entrepreneurs, disrupters, innovators, and technologists.
We are more than just traditional investors; we are a different investment management firm that creates and manages high-risk venture investment funds.
Startup companies that apply to City Side Ventures for early-stage capital will now have two “buckets” for possible investments when they apply. City Side Ventures manages both.
“We don’t see any lack of exciting early-stage companies being started in Michigan,: said David Weaver – Chief Investment Officer.
“We need to keep them here. It would help if more accredited investors, sitting on the sidelines, in Michigan would participate in groups or in a fund to prevent the companies from leaving the state because of the lack of early-stage capital. We are delighted to see the early-stage space growing and we need more people that are willing to be a part of this “Movement” to put Michigan on the map.”
Weaver said he expects 2023 to be an even stronger funding year via our Great Lakes Angels Fund and Birmingham Angels members with the group growing in size every month, and many new exciting companies coming out of the Michigan startup ecosystem.
