Cohort-Based Assistance
The Rural Wisconsin Entrepreneurship Initiative supports the development of rural entrepreneurial ecosystems across the state of Wisconsin.
Cohort-Based Assistance
We provide cohort-based technical assistance for rural entrepreneurs in underserved places, industries, and size categories. Our technical assistance focuses on idea-stage entrepreneurs, remote rural entrepreneurs, and industries that require specialized knowledge (e.g. childcare, food businesses, farm-based ventures).
