BizTimes Milwaukee: We want to make the biz community smarter

BizTimes Milwaukee publisher Dan Meyer writes about its philosophy as it celebrates its 30th anniversary.

Meyer writes, “When Small Business Times started in 1995 the goal was to cover and serve owner-managed companies of all sizes. Our name changed to BizTimes Milwaukee in 2008, but our mission remains much the same today. We exist to make the business community smarter, more informed and, ultimately, more successful. Our job is to provide readers, whether in print, online or at our events, with easily understandable coverage of news, best practices, industry insights, economic issues and market trends.

“We’ll have much more on our anniversary, and the next 30 years, in a special issue in March. For now, we want to thank you for your readership and event attendance over the years. A special thank you also goes to our paid subscribers and those who have sponsored our events and advertised in our magazine and digital products. Your support has made the past 30 years possible.”
