The Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce completed its first entrepreneurship boot camp June 23 with a graduation ceremony for its 17 participants at Harley-Davidson Inc.’s Milwaukee headquarters.
The chamber teamed up with Harley-Davidson’s supplier diversity program to start the inaugural boot camp in late April, which included Wednesday evening sessions for eight weeks covering legal structure, market research, business financials, startup financing and supplier diversity.
The program was designed to support LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs with a business idea or whose businesses have been around for less than two years and have less than $1 million in annual revenue, the chamber’s president and CEO Jason Raesaid in an earlier interview with the Milwaukee Business Journal.
