Start me up: With a new hub for venture funds downtown, investors look to cash in
Four Wisconsin-based venture capital groups, each with a different focus but potentially working together, have set up shop at 111 N. Fairchild St. in a sparkling new office building that offers views of the Capitol on one side and the Overture Center on the other.
Joining Baird Capital Partners at 111 N. Fairchild St. is 4490 Ventures, a $30 million venture fund headed by California transplant Greg Robinson; HealthX Ventures, a fund started by Nordic Consulting founder Mark Bakken; and American Family Ventures, a newly created fund from the Madison property and casualty insurance giant.
