WiSys VentureHome
About
What is WiSys VentureHome®?
WiSys VentureHomes form a network of startup hubs that combine statewide resources with community initiatives to provide local entrepreneurs access to a full menu of startup resources in their community. They also serve as a landing spot for Wisconsin’s entrepreneurial “alumni” to “venture home” and contribute to their local communities.
Why are VentureHomes needed?
While communities across the state have energetic initiatives for budding entrepreneurs, the local ecosystems often have some unmet needs. We work with the local community to identify and shape how your VentureHome can help meet all your needs as an entrepreneur. WiSys VentureHomes organize key central and local resources under one roof—like a “Home Depot” for entrepreneurs, that is additive and non-competitive with local initiatives.
What do VentureHomes offer entrepreneurs?
Some of the centralized services that VentureHome offers are, a concierge service to the larger state-wide ecosystem, entrepreneur toolkits, access to research and technologies coming out of the University of Wisconsin System, intellectual property and legal strategy assistance, and seed funding. In addition, your local VentureHome may provide services such as co-working space, access to UW events and resources, local mentors, etc.
