UW-Madison has launched the Wisconsin Entrepreneurship Hub, which will take a new “founder-focused” approach to supporting startup growth at the university.
That’s according to Jon Eckhardt, a professor at the Wisconsin School of Business who was appointed as a special advisor to the entrepreneurship initiative. It was launched recently after being approved by campus governance in May.
“By implementing a founder-focused approach, we can more fully embrace all forms of entrepreneurship that occur on our campus and in our economy and provide entrepreneurs with the support and infrastructure they need to strengthen the state’s economy and improve the world,” Eckhardt said in a statement.
