An event connecting Badger entrepreneurs* everywhere to share contacts, experiences and advice.
- Meet Wisconsin entrepreneurs who have successfully navigated startup, growth and sustained operation
- Make connections with Badger businesses that can help your company grow
- Give a business pitch for feedback, or hear pitches from the next generation of Badger entrepreneurs
- Build your virtual rolodex of contacts
* Note: by Badger entrepreneurs we don’t mean just UW-Madison. Wisconsin is the Badger State.
Coming to the Summit from out of town?
Summer in Madison has much to offer beyond the Badger Startup Summit. For starters the Summit is a part of the Forward Technology Festival, an 8 day ‘movable feast’ of events focused on the intersection of entrepreneurs, technology and social media.
