Six new fast-growing startup companies from across the country have each been selected to receive a $100,000 investment and participate in the gener8tor Madison startup accelerator program. The capital invested in this cohort will come from a new gener8tor fund that will invest primarily in Wisconsin-headquartered companies, or those with the potential to relocate to the state.
The selected startups are:Â
-
Madison-based addiction recovery pharmaceutical platform Plumb Pharmaceuticals;Â
-
Madison-based data convergence and security software Technova Industries;Â
-
Madison-based family productivity app Cubby;Â
-
Madison-based veterinary records analysis tool Transfur;Â
-
Dallas-based machine vision manufacturing software TechComb; and
-
Toronto-based dairy cow microbiome platform Healthy Cow.
Accepted startups will take part in an intensive 12-week, cohort-based accelerator program, which includes one-on-one coaching, mentorship-driven programming, deals and perks, and over 100 connections to the gener8tor network of mentors and investors.
Following the gener8tor Madison program, the startup founders will pitch their companies to investors, community partners, and the public at a showcase event during Madison’s Forward Fest this August.Â
The next gener8tor Wisconsin program will take place in fall of 2024 in Milwaukee. Startup founders interested in learning more about gener8tor’s programming or applying to the program can visit the gener8tor Milwaukee website, or reach out to Managing Director Molly Dill. Those interested in mentoring these companies or getting involved in other ways are also encouraged to connect.
