Nonprofit calls attention to veteran entrepreneurship at Wisconsin Capitol event

A seminar at  the state Capitol last week strove to highlight veterans who create startups.

The "Muster Across America" event was organized by Bunker Labs, a three-year-old Chicago-based nonprofit and business incubation program that has made it its mission to help veterans who choose to become entrepreneurs.

The group launched a chapter in Madison in 2016 and has received significant state funding: The Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. gave Bunker Labs Wisconsin a $95,000 grant that same year. That money finances the Lab’s “Innovator Academy” incubator in University Research Park.
