Getting access to the right people, resources and information to start and grow your business can be a challenge for most entrepreneurs and small business owners. Recognizing this challenge, Governor Doyle, through his Grow Wisconsin Plan, created the Wisconsin Entrepreneurs' Network (WEN) that is funded through the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, Bureau of Entrepreneurship.  WEN's mission is to create

seamless access to entrepreneurial resources and expertise from across Wisconsin to both spawn new ventures and help grow existing businesses.  WEN leverages the brain power in the State to support entrepreneurship and innovation. You can think of WEN as a one stop shop that brings together more than 100 organizations and more than 300 people to assist entrepreneurs at any stage of business and any

business sector.  WEN's network continues to evolve and change with each passing month.  So, what does it mean to you if you are a  entrepreneur or small business owner in Cadott?  WEN is the “Smart Connection” to the people, resources, and information that you may need to start and grow your business.  Visit the Wisconsin Entrepreneurs’ Network at www.wenportal.org for more information.
