What started out as a dream grew into an exciting new collaboration!
In 2020, Julie and Peter Hewitt set out to expand their wood crafting hobby into a business, and to help with this goal, they sought help from the Platteville Business Incubator. Relocating from garage to business was no small feat, but with some help, they now proudly hold up shop on Main Street, at Hewitt's Handicraft Haven, LLC.
The Platteville Incubator, now managed by the UW-Platteville Huff Family Innovation Center, provides a roadmap to entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life. Through workshops, mentorship programs, educational programs, and now prototyping access at Huff, the Platteville Business Incubator hopes to foster a diversity of ideas in our regional business ecosystem.
