Bank of Ann Arbor is Rockin’ for the Hungry

by Bank of Ann Arbor December 1, 2010 9:28

On Saturday, December 4, 2010, Bank of Ann Arbor will be Rockin’ for the Hungry with Ann Arbor’s 107one.   If you’re a listener on 107.1fm you’ll be hearing some familiar BOAA voices talking about our part in this important food drive to stock the shelves of Food Gatherers.  A recent survey on hunger in Washtenaw County projects those who need food assistance will increase by 138% this year.  We would love to have you stop by Kroger on South Maple, next to the Westgate Shopping Center in Ann Arbor on Saturday, December 4 with a donation of nonperishable food items or money. Every contribution helps.

Ann Arbor’s entrepreneurial community recruiting rich individuals to become “angel” investors

by Bank of Ann Arbor January 24, 2010 8:43

Call it hibernating capital.

A growing effort to convince wealthy individuals to invest directly in local startup companies is the objective of some leaders in Ann Arbor’s entrepreneurial community.

Michigan has 157,642 households with liquid assets worth at least $1 million, according to Phoenix Affluent Marketing Service. That means Michigan has the 10th most millionaires in the country - ahead of Massachusetts, Maryland, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and 35 other states.

Efforts to reinvigorate a 6-year-old group called the Ann Arbor Angels is a direct response to financial need among the area’s startup technology companies, officials said.

The investment group came together for the first time in 2004 but essentially fizzled out after a few years.

But Michael Cole, vice president of the Bank of Ann Arbor’s technology industry group, has mobilized to restart the group and plans to hold 3 to 4 meetings in 2010. The goal is to attract wealthy private citizens to invest in small local tech companies, generating profits, jobs and economic activity for the Ann Arbor region.
