The representation of women in entrepreneurship is growing rapidly both locally and nationally. The Wisconsin School of Business, the Weinert Center for Entrepreneurship and the Small Business Development Center provide a platform to help inspire, educate and assist women interested in entrepreneurship at the UW and in the community. Many alumni of our programs have gone on to launch startups and numerous women on our faculty, staff and advisory boards provide opportunities and support through a variety of our programs. Promoting female and minority representation in entrepreneurship is one of our core objectives.
