The annual Wisconsin Early Stage Symposium in Madison has all the ingredients necessary for a successful gathering of young companies and entrepreneurs.
The Nov. 7-8 conference will attract scores of investors from some of the Midwest’s top angel networks and venture capital funds, with more than 30 investor groups already represented. Investors will be there to hear presentations from 40 companies and to meet individually with those entrepreneurs and many more through our third annual “Investor Intros” meet-up.
Speakers with stories that inform and inspire include
Aaron Kennedy, founder of Noodles & Co., serial entrepreneur
Kelly Fitzsimmons and company-charger
Demetria Menard, who will speak Nov. 6 at the Wisconsin WOMEN reception preceding the formal start of the conference.
Panel discussions and workshops will feature investors, entrepreneurs and experts to address hands-on challenges that can spell the difference between growth and failure. You will also hear from the 2018 winner of our “Excellence in Entrepreneurial Excellence” award, watch our Elevator Pitch Olympics and much and mingle at our breakfast, lunch and reception events.
Join us for Wisconsin’s premiere gathering of investors and entrepreneurs by registering now!
Sincerely,
Tom Still, president
