12 will face off in business plan contest at entrepreneurs’ conference

Three Wisconsin natives now run their high-tech firm out of Chicago. But if they win a statewide business plan competition, they will be coming home.

The former University of Wisconsin-Madison classmates have pledged to move Flex Lighting if they beat out 11 other finalists to win the top prize in the 2009 Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan contest.

“Hopefully, this Wisconsin business plan competition allows us to get back into Wisconsin,” said Mike Casper, Flex’s co-founder and president.
