OSHKOSH NORTHWESTERN
OSHKOSH – Every time Lovely Anderson traveled to Chicago to visit family, she would stock up on "the essentials" — hair supplies for her five daughters — knowing they were difficult to find in the Oshkosh area.
That was in 2017. In 2021, Anderson is hoping to eliminate that problem for parents like her with A&H Beauty Vanity, a Black-owned beauty supply store in Oshkosh that opened Aug. 23 in Suite 18/19 located inside Sola Salon, 1830 Jackson St...
Peshtigo farming entrepreneurs go from cherry trees to lavender fieldsGREEN BAY PRESS GAZETTEPESHTIGO -- In 2016, Ann and Craig Schueller bought a 175-acre farm in Peshtigo that had been in Craig’s family for more than 100 years. But they weren’t interested in revisiting the farm’s history as a dairy producer; they wanted to do something unique. “I was in the first E-seed (entrepreneurial) class for veterans at Fox Valley Tech,” Ann said. “We had just purchased the land and were pretty sure we would do something with it, but weren’t sure what. Our first idea was to do a cherry orchard.”... Read More 5>

Tom Still: Spate of investment, exit news for Wisconsin companies is encouraging
WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL
The power of deal-sharing and accelerating interest from out-of-state investors has been front and center this summer in Wisconsin, with many young companies announcing new venture capital rounds or acquisitions by larger companies.
For state policymakers who are considering priming the pump to attract even more dollars into Wisconsin, it should signal that their efforts won’t drill a dry well.
In the past few months alone, nearly $100 million has been raised collectively by young companies such as Bright Cellars, Pyran, Part Analytics, Fork Farms, Roddy Medical, Rentable, Frontdesk, Wellbe, OnLume, Veda and more. More established companies such as SHINE Medical Technologies and NorthStar Medical Technologies raised nearly twice that much in later-stage investments or targeted federal grants... Read More 8>
