2020 VC Deals in Wisconsin
Wisconsin has consistently filled the role of the rising underdog when it comes to Midwest venture capital deals. In 2020, 91 Wisconsin companies raised a collective $293 million in capital, according to the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA). This is up $44 million from 2019. Yet, the state is still playing catchup to its Midwest neighbors such as Michigan ($3.3 billion), Illinois ($2.6 billion) and Minnesota ($1.9 billion).
