Winneshiek Idea House announces 2019 featured entrepreneurs

Winneshiek Idea House, a program which highlights local entrepreneurs and business ideas that contribute to the resilience and sustainability of Winneshiek County, is back for its second year. This year's event will be held next Tuesday, February 23rd, at the Decorah Elks Lodge beginning at 5:00 p.m. The event is open to everyone.

The entrepreneurs will present their ideas at Tuesday's event, and will share what they are seeking from the community to take their businesses to the next level.

Winneshiek Idea House co-coordinator Kristin Eggen says last year the inaugural event helped 3 established businesses bring their business to the "next level," and 2 new businesses get launched.  "Winneshiek Idea House attendees offered support ranging from child care to consulting, and contributed gifts of social media support, copywriting, bookkeeping, photography, and more. An enthusiastic audience of 44 made 156 pledges totaling over $7,000 in donations and patient loans," says Eggen.
Winneshiek Idea House is sponsored by Winneshiek County Development, Inc. To learn more and to register for the event, visit winneshiekdevelopment.org/idea-house/
