Public-private partnership will boost entrepreneurial ventures in Wisconsin
June 13, 2024
The launch of the $100 million Wisconsin Investment Fund, the largest public-private investment in startups and entrepreneurs in state history, provides a promising boost to the state’s longstanding commitment to innovation. It also provides another powerful reason for businesses to put down roots in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin’s $50 million investment, with funds from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s State Small Business Credit Initiative, will be matched by six private venture capital firms. In the fund’s early years, WEDC estimates creating a $500 million impact as companies selected by the funds continue to grow.
