Ann Arbor New Tech Meetup

The Ann Arbor New Tech meetup welcomes members from any school, sector, or industry function (e.g. entrepreneurs, technologists, investors, lawyers, marketers, students, bloggers, etc.) interested in local high-tech startups.

We seek to foster tech entrepreneurship by facilitating communication, providing access to resources, and creating community. Our members meet every few weeks to participate in demo events, educational panel and speaker events, unconferences, and happy hours.

Our flagship event (3-5 companies each get 5 minutes to demo, 5 minutes to answer questions, then open announcements and networking) is the third Tuesday of each month, 6:30 PM at Blau Auditorium at UM's Ross Business School. E-mail [email protected] if you'd like to demo or sponsor!

Please see our message board for jobs, events, and other opportunities!

Check out Our Sponsors and Perks.

“ Great companies, amazing people and free snacks! ”

“ The point-on variety of subjects makes for a great event - for learning and opening doors of new thought. ”

        The missing Momentum speaker was my fault. We got mixed up on scheduling, and have confirmed Amanda for November (Momentum applications open up Nov 4). I sincerely apologize to Amanda and our meetup members for the error.
