Rep. Bowen Statement on Gateway Capital Fund Hitting Initial Fundraising Goal in Four Months
“I Am Excited to See What Opportunities This Investment Fund Will Bring”
MILWAUKEE – In response to reporting this week that the Milwaukee-based Gateway Capital Fund, a venture capital fund meant to provide seed investments to Milwaukee-area startups, hit its initial fundraising goal of $6 million in about four months, State Rep. David Bowen (D-Milwaukee) released the following statement:
“I am very excited to see the success of the Gateway Capital Fund, a new venture capital fund that will help provide important start-up investments to entrepreneurs and innovators in Milwaukee and help increase investment in our low- to moderate-income communities. In particular, I want to congratulate Dana Guthrie, Gateway’s managing director and an incredible Black woman, for her success in meeting Gateway Capital Fund’s initial fundraising goal of $6 million dollars in just four months! Gateway wasn’t expected to meet that goal until the end of the year, and I know that with Dana leading the way, Gateway will be able to reach its new $10 million goal efficiently and effectively.”
“I am grateful to Dana, the rest of the team at Gateway Capital Fund, and all of their investors for bringing this targeted development tool to Milwaukee Country’s communities. Milwaukee’s entrepreneurial spirit and potential for innovation have often gone untapped, but people like Dana see the promise that our city holds, and I am excited to see what opportunities this investment fund will bring!”
