About "E-Hub"

E-Hub is a unique entrepreneur program where staff members work one-on-one with you to explore your business idea and its market feasibility.  Our signature entrepreneur series, "Stepping Up to New Opportunities" serves as a compass in guiding you in the right direction.  Here you will find a multitude of resources, opportunities for "cupiding" with other entrepreneurs, events that expose you to various entrepreneurial activities, learning through mentorship and continued counseling.

E-Hub can help you develop self-sufficiency, change our economic landscape by creating jobs, and maybe help you become a community leader in the process.

E-Hub is a non-profit community initiative with participants from a diverse group of social-economic backgrounds, race and income status.

• Women have accounted for nearly 60 percent of all participants
• Almost 32 percent of the participants have represented African American, Hispanic, Native American, Asian and other ethnic groups
• Nearly 90 percent of participants graduate (with over 500 successfully completing a business plan and the program)
• Over 500 alumni (64 percent) are successfully operating in business in over 50 various communities throughout Wisconsin

Legendary Green Bay Packer and NFL player, Reggie White and his wife Sara, had a vision of empowering aspiring entrepreneurs to realize their dreams of owning and operating their own business.  The vision has manifested into an outstanding foundation of empowered entrepreneurs who have developed self-sufficiency and now feel a sense of giving back that is necessary to the free enterprise system.  This vision is now called the "Power of 92".
