On Friday, May 30th the Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies at Adrian College held an all day conference on investment crowdfunding covering the new MILE (Michigan Invests Locally Exemption) Act. This was a fitting location for two reasons: Adrian College has a cutting edge Entrepreneurial Studies program headed by Dr. Oded Gur-Arie, a serial entrepreneur himself. Secondly, investment crowdfunding for Michigan began in Adrian and Lenawee County, conceived and nurtured by Chris Miller, Adrian Economic Development Director. Furthermore, the MILE ACT has been championed by Rep. Nancy Jenkins from Lenawee County and her legislative director, Andy Buss. Without the efforts from these individuals, Michigan would not be at the forefront of investment crowdfunding nationally as it is poised today.More
