Oshkosh VentureHome was launched last week by WiSys in partnership with The Venture Project and the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh.
WiSys is 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.
The Oshkosh hub joins hubs in Green Bay, Eau Claire, Platteville and Superior.
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.
VentureHome’s Level UP! Pre-seed Accelerator helps entrepreneurs take their scalable business or idea to the next level. Application period for Level UP! is currently closed.
The accelerator offers each cohort:
-
