Venture Track

Background

Venture Track provides strategic connections and advising for innovative, potential high-growth companies to help them launch, grow and prepare to raise capital or other sources of funding. Venture Track does not make financial investments in companies.

The Venture Track program consists of services that assist entrepreneurs at different stages of their company, from the pre-launch stage through early stages of funding, by providing mentors, workshops, coaching and connections. While BizStarts Milwaukee works to help refer all types of companies to those organizations in the position to help them most, the Venture Track program focuses primarily on those innovative, scalable companies, often referred to as "gazelles."
