In Madison, Georgia, an entrepreneur with economic development experience and a real estate closer started meeting to discuss business, investing, and how they could make a difference in their community.

 

Their conversations soon became a shared mission: “doing well by doing good.” They believed that by supporting local entrepreneurs, they could help grow successful businesses in their own backyard—and they each knew mentors who could help make that happen.

 

Around the same time, a serial entrepreneur and a financial expert were having similar talks in another place. They believed in the power of sharing their experience and helping others bring great ideas to life.

 

Eventually, these two groups crossed paths, and the spark for The Madison Wheelhouse was lit.

 

Since then, other passionate leaders have joined the effort, all committed to boosting the local economy.

 

The team already connects with partners like Georgia Tech, the University of Georgia, Morgan County High School’s Career Academy, technical colleges, and local government leaders.

​

The Madison Wheelhouse is all about helping new ideas grow into real businesses—and giving existing businesses the tools to thrive, especially in rural Georgia. With mentorship, training, and collaboration, the Wheelhouse is ready to empower the next generation of innovators.

​

We believe Madison is the perfect place to launch something this special. And we’d love for you to join us in cheering on—and supporting—the future of entrepreneurship in Georgia
