Wisconsin Startup Coalition, Tech Council tout their different approaches to advancing state’s entrepreneurial ecosystem Share Last updated on March 10th, 2021 at 02:26 pm Two tech-oriented groups were quick to endorse Gov. Tony Evers’ plan for a $100 million state-backed venture capital fund when he first pitched the proposal in February. One was the Wisconsin Technology Council, which has been the state’s leading voice on startup policy for more than 20 years.   The other was the Wisconsin Startup Coalition, a group formed last year that is focused on advocating for entrepreneurs and the state’s early-stage ecosystem.   Both groups applauded Evers’ proposal to create a fund of funds venture capital program to support Wisconsin-based startups, saying it would make the state more competitive among its neighbors, who have historically outpaced the state in a variety of metrics, including deal flow and secured investments.
