Our mission is to help you succeed.
Madworks Accelerator powered by StartingBlock is a startup accelerator in Madison, Wisconsin that provides grants, mentors, lean startup methodology, structure, access to next-round finance and much more to selected early-stage companies. Following lean startup methodology, we encourage our startups to “build, measure, and learn” as quickly as possible. We look for the best people with the ability to turn ideas into scalable companies. We will provide you with capital and office space and surround you with fellow entrepreneurs, mentors, industry experts, service providers and anyone else you need to get off the ground and grow. This happens during a high-energy, 10-week program at StartingBlock. Madworks accepts Wisconsin-based companies, including those created by UW-Madison faculty/staff/alumni/students, as well as early-stage companies from the greater Madison community.
