Fuel your entrepreneurial spirit at the Badger Startup Summit—an energizing launch to Forward Fest hosted by 100 State and UW-Madison TEO that brings together innovators, founders, and big ideas from across Wisconsin’s startup ecosystem.
Start your day with a complimentary breakfast and dive into inspiring talks on innovation and entrepreneurship. Connect with local startups and leaders at the Venfair networking showcase, grab a box lunch, and stick around for the high-energy MERLIN Pitch & Replay. In this dynamic pitch session, early-stage startups present their ventures to a panel of experienced mentors and investors. The twist? The audience gets to participate by offering feedback, asking questions, and even predicting outcomes, making it an interactive and engaging experience for everyone.
FREE, but an RSVP is required through the Forward Fest Event site.
