20Fathoms Dives Deeper

Dec. 17, 2024

It’s been a big year for Traverse City’s homegrown startup incubator and coworking space, and 2025 promises even more action as key staff and new initiatives are in place. 

20Fathoms (named for the 120 feet that Grand Traverse Bay is clear to a depth of) has been helping local technology entrepreneurs since opening its doors in 2018. But major grant funding in 2024 allowed the organization to substantially expand staff, programming, and its geographic footprint throughout northern Michigan. The group also has a new executive director.

In this week's Northern Express, sister publication of The Ticker, writer Art Bukowski checks in with 20Fathoms leaders (and clients) to hear about what’s new and what’s next as the revamped organization looks forward. The Northern Express is available to read online, or pick up a free copy on newsstands at more than 650 locations in 13 counties across northern Michigan.
