Welcome to Wisconsin Inno, a brand new digital media and events company focused on local innovation.
We’re part of a network of sites — we’re in Boston (launched in '08), D.C. ('12), Chicago ('14), Austin ('15), the Twin Cities ('17), Rhode Island ('17), Cincinnati ('17) and Atlanta ('18) — committed to covering and connecting the people, companies, trends and topics that are driving and defining your state's startup and tech communities. We're also a part of the American City Business Journals, making us a sister site to the esteemed Milwaukee Business Journal.
We’re here with one goal in mind — to add value.
Inno aims to help strengthen Wisconsin's ecosystem through three core products — a fun, twice-a-week newsletter — sign up for The Beat, you'll love it! — authoritative, insightful, and original editorial and social, engaging events and meetups. In every market we’re in, we’re in awe of the founders, entrepreneurs and executives that are driving their local innovation economies forward and pledge to hustle as hard as they do, keeping our communities connected, informed and growing.
As you’ll see with some of our first handful of posts, we love to tell stories about the people behind the companies, ideas and organizations that are shaping the present and future of the Wisconsin business landscape.
On Inno, you’ll also find longer looks into the trends and topics that are impacting and influencing the state's reputation as both an established and emerging tech hub, as well as resource-driven lists, multimedia and much, much more.
And, along with daily news and analysis that will help those in the community stay informed and plugged in, Inno will also serve as an onboarding tool for people and businesses that are new to the ecosystem. Inno's Guides — you check out our first batch here — are designed to offer comprehensive looks at resources that are available to the community, from accelerators to incubators, VCs to angels, and beyond. If it’s local and innovative, it’ll be in Wisconsin Inno.
The best way to stay connected to Inno is to sign up for the newsletter and we'll see you in your inbox twice a week (Also, be sure to bookmark this site and pass it along to anyone that you think may be interested in tapping into the city's ecosystem.). Can't wait to get started.
Finally, we're going to be hosting our kickoff meetup — the Inno-Troduction — at Ward 4 on May 9. We'll be on hand to answer any and all questions, as well as to outline what we look for in a pitch. We look forward to meeting you (Space is limited for this one, so be sure to sign up here.)
