Wisconsin’s Act 255 heats up angel investment in 2005, though VC involvement lags
Wisconsin’s decision to give tax credits to investors in early-stage companies has shown results in its first calendar year, especially for individual investors.
Angel investors have so far applied for $1.8 million of the $3 million in available tax credits for 2005, state Department of Commerce figures show. But of the $3.5 million in tax credits available to venture capitalists, almost none have been used.
