It's been a dream of mine to introduce entrepreneurs who have disabilities to the great team of people with disabilities working at the Wisconsin Innovation Kitchen.
Entrepreneurs with disabilities could be creating jobs for other people with disabilities as they develop their businesses.... good for all involved.
We are creating these kind of opportunities with small batch food startups.
Professionally managed safe, legal kitchens can change the world. That's what Annette Pierce and her culinary team at the Wisconsin Innovation Kitchen have taught me.
With this kind of platform, entrepreneurs who have disabilities can launch their own food businesses from wherever they live. The food processing work can be done safely, legally and deliciously by Annette and her professional culinary team that includes many people with disabilities.
As demand grows, we can help launch new professional community kitchens and create new jobs and opportunities for all involved including entrepreneurs and workers who have disabilities.
