Milwaukee WI, May 6, 2015 - Brilliance Business Solutions was selected by Scale Up Milwaukee as one of 15 businesses to participate in its 2014-2015 Scalerator class, a Milwaukee-based program focused on creating growth through entrepreneurship. “With our ambitious goal to be at 101 employees in the next 10 years, we were excited to be selected and are already benefitting from the additional resources the Scalerator program brings us,” said Brilliance CEO Lori McDonald.
With Scale Up, academic institutions and companies connect faster, based on an “entrepreneurship ecosystem” model created by industry pioneer Daniel Eisenberg. Growth is the measurement Scale Up uses to ensure participants are moving forward and improving every day. Since being a part of the program, Brilliance has teamed up with students from Marquette University to run a data analysis on its ROI efforts. But McDonald also sees benefits extending to advancing recruiting and internal culture best-practices, too. She notes, “We’re highly customer driven, so as we grow, we want to make sure that focus is at the center of everything that we do.”
Brilliance recognizes the strong talent pool and high potential for project opportunities in Wisconsin, showing why Milwaukee was selected as Scale Up’s first pilot city and continues to grow and move forward successfully.
