The founder of a Wisconsin company that is working to visualize how cancer cells respond to possible treatments will speak June 6 at the annual Wisconsin Entrepreneurs’ Conference in Milwaukee.
Maneesh Arora, a serial entrepreneur whose company, Elephas, has raised $116 million in venture capital thus far and which recently partnered with the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer, will open the conference at Milwaukee’s Italian Community Center.
The 22nd annual conference will span parts of two days and celebrate the region’s rise as a startup and scale-up hub within the Midwest. The conference’s theme is “Mapping the entrepreneurial mind,” where entrepreneurs from around the state will showcase ideas, services, and technologies. There will be six panel tracks formed under the three stages, “launch,” “grow,” and “succeed.”
Produced by the Tech Council, the Entrepreneurs’ Conference is among the largest events for entrepreneurs and early stage investors in the Upper Midwest. Other highlights will include:
-
The Diligent Dozen, where the top 12 finalists from the Governor’s Business Plan Contest square off on the afternoon of June 5;
-
Ken Hendricks Memorial “Seize the Day” 2024 award winner announcement;
-
The Governor’s Business Plan Contest “Diligent Dozen” awards announcements on June 6;
-
An Innovation Showcase featuring exhibits from Wisconsin companies; and
-
Opportunities to network with seasoned entrepreneurs and investors over food and refreshments, including a June 5 reception at the Italian Community Center.
