When people think of Madison, a variety of image and words comes to mind, but after a week with us, you’ll think, “inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem”. During Wisconsin Startup Week we invite everyone from across Wisconsin, including entrepreneurs and those who are interested in learning more about entrepreneurship, to attend events in Madison to learn about how we’re building and growing a diverse and inclusive ecosystem- for all sectors and types of entrepreneurs. Madison’s extensive network of entrepreneurial resources, mentors, individuals, and community supporters are all working to increase the number of new companies launching and expanding to support the greater Wisconsin economy.
