Gateway Capital Partners is the only Milwaukee-based VC firm that invests almost exclusively in Wisconsin's pre-revenue startups, with 75% of its portfolio companies being Milwaukee-based and 75% minority-founded. The fund was founded and led by Dana Guthrie, cited as the first Black woman in Wisconsin to raise a VC fund, and operates with a concentrated approach of making ~$400K investments into just 12-15 companies to generate financial returns while targeting low-to-moderate income communities and founders using entrepreneurship for generational wealth creation.
