In April 2020, Startup Wisconsin conducted a survey of founders and top executives at high-growth companies from across the state of Wisconsin. The survey offers insight into how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting Wisconsin’s high-growth startup companies who play a critical role in driving the creation of new jobs in the state. 

“Enacting programs and policies at the state and local level that ensure Wisconsin’s innovation economy, the state’s job-growth machine, emerges stronger from the COVID-19 pandemic is critical,” said Matt Cordio, president of Startup Wisconsin “State and local leaders should be listening to the voices of high-growth entrepreneurs from around Wisconsin and ensuring that they have the resources they need to recover from the COVID-19 crisis.”


The Startup Wisconsin Founder Pulse Survey report includes insights on: 

  • The demand for capital to grow and sustain Wisconsin's innovation economy
  • How Wisconsin startups are tapping the federal relief programs offered by the Small Business Administration
  • How hiring plans have been modified in light of the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Ideas on how state and local leaders can support Wisconsin's innovation economy moving forward
