BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation Is Helping Create Jobs!BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit, was founded on a novel idea allowing
donors to contribute funds that would be invested in
early stage companies. We have world-class talent
and ideas in the Badger State, but not the dollars
needed to launch more high tech start up businesses.
The logos to the right represent the 28 companies in
which BrightStar has invested more than $3.8 million
during our first two years. These companies anticipate
creating 1,500 high paying jobs during their first
three alone. As our investments in these companies
are returned to the foundation, we will re-invest in
new Wisconsin early stage companies.
We ask for your support
We ask for your support in creating jobs and keeping
our best and brightest in Wisconsin. As BrightStar
donors with a signature to the right, we ask you to
consider joining us with a gift* to the foundation.
There is no better way to help our great state achieve
a much more vibrant economy and make Wisconsin
an even better place for us to live.
THANK YOU!
* BrightStar Wisconsin has a suggested minimum donation of $100,000, which can be pledged over up to five years.
