Palermo's Pizza's Nick Fallucca Has a Bold Vision: Make SE Wisconsin the Silicon Valley of Food
Description
In September, NVNG, a boutique investment firm based in Madison, WI, hosted a unique event in Milwaukee called Venture North, to showcase how collaboration between venture capital and corporations can further propel Midwestern industries to become engines of economic growth.
During the event, I sat down with Nick Fallucca, a speaker at Venture North and Chief Product and Innovation Officer at Milwaukee based Palermo's Pizza.
You might know Palermo's as the frozen pizza of choice in your grocery store. But, in this conversation, Nick reveals how Palermo’s is quietly working to transform Southeast Wisconsin into the Silicon Valley of food and beverage.
It's a great example how an established brand can use its expertise in manufacturing and distribution to lift up the next generation of entrepreneurs.
