BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation Is Helping Create Jobs!

A Message from BrightStar’s President and donors

Dear readers:

BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit was founded in 2013to allow donors to contribute funds that are invested in early stage companies. These companies are on an economic development engine that produces high paying jobs in Wisconsin. We have world-class talent and ideas in the Badger State, but not the dollars needed to launch more high-tech start-up businesses.

The logos to the right represent the 32 companies in which BrightStar has invested nearly $5 million during our first three years. These companies already are creating high paying jobs. As our investments in these companies are returned to thefoundation, we will re-invest in new Wisconsin early stage companies.

Help us make WI a more vibrant place to live and work.

We ask for your support in creating jobs and keeping our best and brightestleaders and ideas in Wisconsin. As BrightStar donors with our signatures tothe right, we also ask you to consider joining us with a gift to the foundation.*

There is no better way to help Wisconsin achieve a more vibrant economy andmake our great state an even better place for us to live than by supporting theBadger State’s job-creating companies.

Thank you.

Thomas M. ShannonPresident & CEO

*Past donations have ranged from $100,00 spread over five years, up to more than $1 million
