Wisconsin Capital Catalyst Program
Open continuously
No deadline — apply whenever you are ready.
WEDC matches funds raised by local communities and organisations to create seed funds that invest in early-stage Wisconsin companies. Individual investments are made by the local fund, not by WEDC.

Deadline: rolling
This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.
Quick — mostly identity and bank details.
Who can apply
- Sectors: deeptech, health, manufacturing
- Stage: idea, pre_seed
- Locally registered entity required
WEDC's counterparty is the community organisation establishing the seed fund; start-ups apply to the resulting local fund.
