In November 2023, 20Fathoms, our regional ecosystem partner supporting entrepreneurs and technology start-ups, received a Small Business Support Hubs grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. The funding supports 20Fathoms’ service expansion to small businesses in all ten counties of Northwest Michigan, including Manistee, Charlevoix, Cadillac, and Petoskey. The support also means that Northwest Michigan entrepreneurs can access new funding and resources through its partnerships with Michigan SBDC, Northern Lakes Economic Alliance, Venture North, and Traverse Connect. Services include business consultations, educational programming, and professional service provider support. All entrepreneurs in Northwest Michigan are eligible.
20Fathoms released its 2025 Impact Report this spring, highlighting the critical role it plays in the growth and success of our region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
