We are excited to announce that Mattermark has re-launched as an independent company!

Our friend and former colleague Jason Rowley over at Crunchbase News put together a great list and analysis of the best cities for funded startups in the Midwest. We dove a bit deeper into one metro area in particular – Detroit. Here are the top 10 non-exited, funded startups from the Detroit metro area, ranked by Mattermark Growth Score.

Mattermark Filters Used: (1) Region = Detroit (2) Stage = Pre Series A OR Stage = A OR Stage = B OR Stage = C OR Stage = Late (3) Total Funding > 0

* Growth Score: is a measure of how quickly a company is gaining traction at a given point in time. It incorporates web traffic, social traction, and business growth metrics like employee growth and funding. Companies who see growth across these signals are typically more likely to continue to grow as a result.

** Mindshare Score: Higher scores indicate sustained, steeper growth of public interest across several external signals. Negative scores indicate declining customer interest.
