More venture capital or disruptive ideas? What does Milwaukee and Wisconsin’s startup ecosystem need to get to the next level?

Perhaps it is a chicken-or-the-egg scenario, but does the state need more venture capital, or more disruptive ideas to jump start a budding ecosystem?

Badger Fund of Funds partner Ken Johnson says Wisconsin would find more value in additional human capital more so than venture capital. For Johnson, this means entrepreneurs building more unique products that not only address an untouched market but also sell high so investors make a larger return of their investment.
