Keiretsu Forum Midwest

Keiretsu Forum Midwest was established in 2000 in San Francisco East Bay, California, as a global investment community of accredited private equity angel investors, venture capitalists, and corporate/institutional investors. We have global membership with 48 chapters on three continents, thus providing an international network for capital, resources, and deal flow. In all our locations, Keiretsu Forum members invest in high-quality and diverse investment opportunities. Midwest is a bustling and varied environment for businesses. Its living and business costs are the best in America. It is also home to many of the top Fortune 500 companies who vigorously promote innovation and tech growth. The Midwest's active start-up community and corporate backing make it a hotbed of investment and innovation. Prominent hospitals and universities give the Midwest one of the best living costs in the country. Capital investments in the private sector are the latest step after Columbus's award as a smart city. Keiretsu Forum Midwest has had early wins as Ann Arbor became a medical start-up hotspot, Chicago thrived as a financial innovation hub, Cincinnati revived as a tech center, and Cincinnati became a top spot for branding and marketing.
