The Venture Center
It was an idea designed to provide a solution to growing a more vibrant economy-what would happen if we gave people the tools they needed to make business start-ups more successful?
... Entrepreneurs and small business owners are driving the economy in Northeast Wisconsin, the state and the nation. The best way to nurture their creativity is by giving it fertile ground for growth and expansion so their passion, ideas and hard work combine to form innovation, which leads to business development and opportunities for many.”
— Amy M. Pietsch, Venture Center Director.
