CSA Partners is a Milwaukee, Wisconsin–based venture capital firm founded in 2013 by Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele, who committed at least US$10 million of his own capital to invest in early-stage companies in Wisconsin and the broader Midwest. [1][2] The firm leases 35,000 square feet at remodelled space inside the historic John Pritzlaff Hardware Company building.[3]

CSA Partners hosts the monthly "1 Million Cups" start up showcase.[4]

History

CSA Partners was launched in 2013.[1] In 2013–2014, statewide venture reporting listed CSA Partners with US$10 million in committed capital among Wisconsin investment groups.[5] The firm’s first disclosed deal was leading a US$550,000 round in Scanalytics in October 2013, followed by continued early-stage activity aimed at technology-enabled startups. [1]

Investments

CSA Partners’ first investment led Scanalytics’ US$550,000 round in 2013.[1] In April 2014 the firm participated as a new investor in Madison-based food-ordering company EatStreet’s US$6 million Series B financing.[6] In August 2015 the fund led a US$2 million seed round for Milwaukee-relocated Bright Cellars, a subscription wine retailer that had joined the local ecosystem after participating in gener8tor.
