The Entrepreneur Fund, in partnership with the Oneida County Economic Development Corporation (OCEDC), is dedicated to fostering growth and diversity in rural business sectors. EFund was born from a need to diversify industry on the Iron Range in the late 1980s, the Entrepreneur Fund remains committed to supporting entrepreneurs and renewing the entrepreneurial spirit in the region.

EFund's focus is on serving entrepreneurs across 29 counties and 12 Native nations in Minnesota and Wisconsin. By living and working within these communities, our team gains a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by local business owners.

Rural businesses often face significant challenges, such as being underbanked and lacking essential services. By providing accessible capital and resources, EFund aims to support the sustainability and growth of small businesses, which are vital to the health of rural economies.

This partnership with OCEDC is a testament to our commitment to enhancing economic opportunities within Oneida County. By supporting local entrepreneurs, EFund aims to drive community engagement and economic development, fostering a thriving business environment in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.
