Introduction:

The IDEA Hub Accelerator is the entrepreneurial center of gravity for Southwest Wisconsin, offering a unique approach to empower our community's dreamers. What distinguishes us is our unwavering commitment to scalability and global impact. The IDEA Hub unlocks individual potential, enabling our founders to create companies that transcend local boundaries and make a mark on the global stage.

Join us on this journey to inspire and cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit within our community, creating a lasting impact far beyond the tri-state area.

The Challenge:

The IDEA Hub has made remarkable progress nurturing the entrepreneurial mindset. Our early founders are now emerging as leaders within our community, a testament to the transformative power of our approach.

One of our favorite success stories is Modern Learners, a Potosi-based startup that joined the IDEA Hub's 2021 Summer Accelerator, and recently won a $1 million contract with the New York Department of Education.

When Missy Emler, CEO, and Founder of Modern Learners, joined IDEA Hub, her venture was still a side hustle. Shortly after the Summer Accelerator, Missy decided to quit her regular job and go full-time with Modern Learners. She has not only achieved remarkable success but has also become an important community leader for startups in Southwest Wisconsin.

Our focus is now on the future. We're committed to helping these emerging companies not just succeed but thrive at a global scale. This is where we truly shine, harnessing the unique characteristics of Platteville and Southwest Wisconsin to propel our ventures to even greater heights.
