Risk & Reward: Seeking the Good through Purpose-Driven Business ~ David Dupee - Co-Founder of Good City Brewing LLC

Since opening on Milwaukee's East Side in June 2016, Good City Brewing has become one of Wisconsin's fastest growing breweries. In 2019, Good City will open a second location as an anchor tenant in the Milwaukee Bucks' Entertainment Block development, and will relocate its corporate offices to Century City Business Park in a building the company purchased on Milwaukee's Northwest side. Co-founder David Dupee will discuss creating a purpose-driven business by sharing how Good City's founding motto—'Seek the Good'—has guided the young brewery's approach to rapid growth and hiring practices, one that is fueled by a conviction that Milwaukee's downtown renaissance should benefit the entire city.
