Founder Institute, Insperity & Tech-Prize join to offer a special event!
Insperity, Founder Institute, and Tech-Prize are coming together to help the Idea Creators in our region better understand the Wisconsin startup ecosystem.
The most frequent comment we hear from Investors is that “People pitching ideas to us need to be further along, they need to have the idea, business case, and plan for success truly built out.”
And one of the most often asked questions from potential Founders is “I have a great Idea – How can the Eco-System in Milwaukee and the greater Wisconsin help me?”
To address this, the Founder Institute – Wisconsin Accelerator is being launched. This is a 15-week, regimented program, designed for the serious Founder/Inventor that is looking to launch their idea into a viable and flourishing business.
A Panel of Wisconsin Eco-System Leaders will speak to our Eco-System, what is being done to enable great ideas, and support our great Founders working to make it all happen.
So, join us for an outstanding “In-Person” event at the beautiful and historic Milwaukee Athletic Club, to hear a great panel of Wisconsin leaders share how the Eco-System is set up to support you. Meet Eco-System Leaders, Investors, and other Founders working through all the same things that you are.
Attendance: This is an In-Person event only.
When: Tuesday, December 13th, 6:00-8:00 PM (Formal comments at 6:30-7:15 PM)
Where: Milwaukee Athletic Club, 758 North Broadway, Milwaukee WI 53202
