UPDATE: Click here to see an updated list of top Michigan startups hiring.

A couple weeks ago, I published a blog post (our very first!) that told my story, the story of this company, and the goal we’re hoping to accomplish. This week, I want to take it a step further by sharing some of the amazing high-growth Michigan startups hiring on re:purpose right now.

Some fun facts about these companies:

They’ve collectively raised more than $200,000,000 in venture capital and they’re all hiring at a rapid clip in two of the fastest-growing cities in Michigan — Detroit and Ann Arbor.

These companies run the gamut — from consumer eCommerce to B2B SaaS and everything in between.

Our team is very familiar with the founders and CEOs of these companies and we’re partnering with them specifically because we believe they’re building purpose-driven companies.

If you’re not from Michigan or you aren’t familiar with the momentum behind Detroit, this region is a pretty incredible place to be right now.

New brands like Warby Parker, Kit & Ace, Shinola, Bonobos, and WeWork have all made big bets on Detroit, there are new lofts and apartments opening everyday, and cost of living is among the lowest of all the major tech hubs. Throw in attractions like Eastern Market, Belle Isle, DIA, the River Walk, the Big House, Kerrytown, and the Arb, and you won’t be bored — I promise.

Simply put: If you want to be part of the rebirth of a great American city, there’s no better place to live, work, and have an impact. This isn’t just something we believe. It’s something we’re betting on by locating our HQ here.
