Dane County continues to rapidly develop as a hub for technology, startups, entrepreneurship and overall innovation.
So the Wisconsin State Journal is launching Business Class, a biweekly digest to highlight news emerging from that hub.
This week’s highlights:
- The Madison Black Chamber of Commerce has
launched a new incubator program titled the “Black & Brown
Entrepreneur Center,” said president Camille Carter. The incubator
provides Black business owners with the tools they need to develop and
grow their venture.
- Madison-based biomedical company Exact Sciences Corp. has entered into a partnership with Pennsylvania-based hospital Jefferson Health to conduct research on a new cancer detection test.
- Madison-based virtual event planning startup Virtual United is poised to cease operations come 2022, amid a time that the market has been saturated by similar companies. It’s a story of lessons learned and building a foundation for better projects ahead, said founder Benjamin Hansen....
Ken Notes: I like these initiatives but is anyone else worried that we are polarizing a relationship we should be bridging. I am thinking in terms of Lee Elder, the first Black player to compete in the Masters, are we now suggesting it would be better to have a Masters just for people of color? As for me, I want to celebrate Lee, Martin, Tiger, and Barack and allow everyone to succeed, thrive and be treated humanly and fairly.
