Madison, WI — June 13, 2023
Doyenne Group’s Spring 2023 Triple Threat Venture Training cohort will be highlighted at our virtual Showcase event taking place on Tuesday, June 13 , 4:30-6:30 PM CDT. Sponsored by WEDC, MG&E, and Associated Bank, this event allows attendees to listen to 5-minute pitches from each venture followed for feedback from attendees. All attendees will have an opportunity to hear from all 7 participating venture founders.
The Showcase is the capstone event of the Doyenne Triple Threat Venture Training (Entrepreneur & Venture overviews on next page). Over the course of the 20 week program, the participants have explored their business models, their personal skills & talents within their ventures, developed a strategic plan for the next 6-18 months, and are now ready for the community to come and support their success and future growth. Participants who complete all aspects of the program also will be awarded a $2,500 unrestricted grant to support their continued success.
“All of the entrepreneurs in this cohort have big plans and are operating very scalable ventures across sectors,” says Doyenne Executive Director Heather Wentler, “As we often say, it takes a community to support a venture’s growth and success. The community continues to step up and support entrepreneurs who are part of Doyenne in a myriad of ways. The relationships the entrepreneurs have been able to form with each other, as well as with their dedicated Doyenne Coaches & Mentors who have worked with them over the course of the program has been extraordinary and reaches across the state of Wisconsin.”
