Chris Holman welcomes Pete Martin, Director of Portfolio Management, MSU Research Foundation, East Lansing, MI.

Welcome Pete tell us a little about the MSU Research Foundation and the PitchMI Startup Competition?

Michigan’s Innovation Showcase

PitchMI is now one of the nation’s richest state-based startup competitions, offering $4 million in investment. How does this expanded competition elevate Michigan’s position as a leader in startup innovation and funding?

Regional & Statewide Strategy

The competition features four regionally themed events—healthcare in Grand Rapids, clean tech in Traverse City, mobility in Detroit, and AI/software in Ann Arbor—each awarding $250,000, with finalists moving on to compete for a $1 million prize. What’s the strategic intent behind aligning region with specific startup industries, and how does it benefit both local ecosystems and statewide momentum?

Building Momentum & Ecosystem Engagement

Regional winners receive funding and, importantly, time to grow before the statewide finals—an intentional six-month runway for impact and support.
Why is this momentum-building phase so critical, and what role do regional networks and ecosystems play in supporting startup trajectories?

Long-Term Vision & Scalability

With $3 million from the Michigan Innovation Fund and $1 million from Michigan Rise ensuring this is a multi-year initiative, PitchMI aims to run through 2026 and potentially become annual. How does this level of long-term funding and planning reflect Michigan’s broader economic development priorities?

Equity & Access in Startup Support

Although each region focuses thematically, startups from anywhere in Michigan can enter any regional event that matches their focus.
How does PitchMI’s open and inclusive structure help break down geographic silos and create equitable opportunities across the state’s innovation ecosystem?

Episode 605 (2025) Sam Lucas On Building Sustainable Social Enterprises Creating Global Careers

The guys are delighted to welcome special guest Karl Flinders, a journalist at Computer Weekly, this week. Karl is a colleague who also happens to be the person who has done much of the reporting on the protracted scandal surrounding the mistaken victimisation of UK Post Office workers due to faulty software. So, pausing only to reflect on a recent trip to New York courtesy of HPE, they explore the Post Office saga from the initial Computer Weekly reporting 16 years ago to the continued injustices still being committed. They eventually move on to look at Vodafone’s recent RAN vendor decisions before concluding by looking at the current status of Chinese vendors in Europe.
