Featuring entrepreneurs in Montcalm and Ionia Counties

The Right Place has launched a new pitch competition, MIpitch, to drive change and entrepreneurial growth in some of West Michigan's more rural communities. We're seeking some of the best, most innovative ideas that residents of Montcalm and Ionia Counties have for the first-ever MIpitch event taking place in September 2021.

A panel of judges will evaluate submissions from Montcalm and Ionia County residents seeking a chance to be selected as finalists for the live, in-person pitching event on September 21, 2021. Finalists will present their pitches for a chance to win cash prizes to help bring their ideas to life.
