Local gaming publishers may vary depending on where in Mich. you are. I don't know of any, but it's a possibility.

What is even more probable is that there is a Small Business Association branch or a SCORE meeting place. Here you would get tuned into the investment pipeline for your city. Note: you are not likely to get investors in a small town with a game. Try to sweep at least for a city or a state with support for IT and innovation. No small feat but ever state has it's own vision of how to innovate with technology and if you can align your project with there's, you should have a fighting chance at getting good start up funds.
