Support for the Launch Wisconsin contest is drawn from generous individuals and organizations from around the state. Support for the competition is a critical function of the contest’s success. Like other states, Wisconsin is competing in a global, knowledge-based economy.  By helping cultivate an entrepreneurial climate in Wisconsin, Launch Wisconsin augments the state’s efforts to create an economic environment that values innovation and risk-taking.

Our lead sponsor is the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., which has pledged $60,000 to support the contest.

Thanks to our 2026 Sponsors!
