Ann Arbor has consistently been ranked in the top places to start a company and SPARK is a great way to get into the heart of it all. Downtown Ann Arbor has shops, restaurants, and a density of high tech businesses all within a short walk. Whether your target is an investor, key hire, or intern, you will be able to find those locations that resonate with the people you’re trying to attract.

The best and most important resource is the ability to be surrounded by other companies at your same stage. This allows you to learn and avoid some pitfalls that trap some companies. The community you form here is still present today. Some companies that banded together even teamed up as a Rec & Ed softball team.
