Supporting Advanced Materials and Manufacturing in Michigan

We’re supporting entrepreneurs in the U.P. and beyond.

At AMMP, we:

  • target early stage companies in need of acceleration on the commercialization pathway. 

  • provide a 3-month long in-person, cohort-based program with sustained coaching and support from experienced entrepreneurs. 

  • work with our innovators to help them understand the market, their customers, and build a plan to first sales.  

  • provide introductions and access to potential investors. 

  • nurture peer support to encourage founders to learn from each other and expand their networks.

A Strong Team Helping New Companies

Our team at AMMP is composed of experienced entrepreneurs and professionals. We offer support to our cohort companies and our surrounding community.

Sustaining and Developing Advanced Materials and Manufacturing

Our in-person program at AMMP is designed for entrepreneurs to springboard their early stage companies to the next level. The assistance and coaching we provide is world class and will take your company to the next level.

Accelerating Companies Across the Bridge

We don’t just support our cohort companies. We have services available to the broader community, we are a part of the Keewenaw and assist businesses outside of our cohort companies in the accelerator program.
