The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) provided a $100,000 Entrepreneurship Partner Grant (EPG) to support the gBETA Urban League program, the organization announced recently.

“We’re excited to support this collaboration between the Urban League and gener8tor as they work together to build entrepreneurial capacity and economic opportunities within communities that have been historically underserved,” WEDC Vice President of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Shayna Hetzel said in a statement. “These accelerator programs will support entrepreneurs with forming, launching and growing their companies, something we know adds economic vitality and mobility.”

WEDC made the announcement during the gBETA Urban League Showcase last week.
