A company that created a “voice assistant” platform that provides hands-free documentation to childcare centers won the 17th annual Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan Contest, which concluded Wednesday during the Wisconsin Entrepreneurs’ Conference held at Venue42 in Milwaukee.

GrowthChart, based in Stoughton, Wis., was created by Patricia Wooldridge and Brent Brenner to increase time devoted to actual childcare. It works as an app on the Google Home speakers.

The company won the contest’s Information Technology category. Other category winners include:

• Advanced Manufacturing: Templar Industries
• Business Services: Blexx Technologies
• Life Sciences: Otologic Technologies
• Business Services: Impact Sports
• Information Technology/Bright New Idea: Seedlinked
• Life Sciences: Voximetry

“GrowthChart has created an innovative platform to save time for certified childcare centers that are often recording data by hand on paper, which ties up professionals who could be caring directly for kids,” Wisconsin Technology Council President Tom Still said in a statement.
