History
[edit ]CSA Partners was launched in 2013.[1] In 2013–2014, statewide venture reporting listed CSA Partners with US10ドル million in committed capital among Wisconsin investment groups.[5] The firm’s first disclosed deal was leading a US550,000ドル round in Scanalytics in October 2013, followed by continued early-stage activity aimed at technology-enabled startups. [1]
Investments
[edit ]CSA Partners’ first investment led Scanalytics’ US550,000ドル round in 2013.[1] In April 2014 the firm participated as a new investor in Madison-based food-ordering company EatStreet’s US6ドル million Series B financing.[6] In August 2015 the fund led a US2ドル million seed round for Milwaukee-relocated Bright Cellars, a subscription wine retailer that had joined the local ecosystem after participating in gener8tor.
