Create a vibrant, innovative and prosperous entrepreneurial business climate in the M7 region by inspiring, nurturing, connecting and celebrating entrepreneurs and their companies.
BizStarts Milwaukee was formed by a group of forward-looking business leaders in the Milwaukee 7 Region who saw a need to accelerate early stage businesses and ideas. This task force was formed by the Greater Milwaukee Committee to study innovation. It was determined that the State of Wisconsin including the Milwaukee 7 region have long ranked in the lowest third of states on the metric for business start-ups. That means slower job and wage growth in an economy where most new jobs are created by small companies.
The task force studied successful efforts in the United States that promote innovation and start-ups. They gathered input from local businesses, law firms, accounting firms, public sector service providers, successful entrepreneurs, investors, universities.
The conclusion of the best economic thinkers in the region was that we can, should and must accelerate business startups. Biz Starts Milwaukee is committed to fostering and nourishing the entrepreneurial spirit in the Milwaukee 7 region by creating a climate that encourages innovation and risk taking.
BizStarts Milwaukee will connect resources, content, and contacts that will assist entrepreneurs to launch new enterprises.
