As Green Bay prepares to host the 2025 NFL Draft, TitletownTech, a venture capital firm backed by the Green Bay Packers and Microsoft, has launched the first-ever TitletownTech Startup Draft, a nationwide pitch competition awarding a $1 million investment. Startups harnessing emerging technologies in industries aligned with advanced manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, agriculture, water, energy, digital health, and sports are encouraged to apply.
Finalists will travel to Green Bay to participate in the Startup Combine, taking place April 3–4. This event provides an opportunity for startups to refine their pitch, receive market feedback, and engage with TitletownTech’s team, portfolio companies, and corporate investors, including organizations like Microsoft, the Packers, Ariens, Kohler, Schneider, and more. The Startup Combine also provides finalists with increased visibility, mentorship, and the opportunity to build strategic relationships.
The TitletownTech Startup Draft will culminate with Startup Draft Day, a live-streamed event on April 24 ahead of the first round of the NFL Draft. During the event, finalists will pitch their ideas, receive feedback, and compete for the $1 million investment.Â
Interested startups can review eligibility criteria and apply here. There is no application fee, and the deadline is March 16 at 11:59 p.m.
