The Forward Festival Startup Showcase returns again this year for the 7th annual event! Startup Showcase will cap off the headline Forward Tech Conference on August 26, 2019. It is expected to bring hundreds of entrepreneurs, business, civic and education leaders together in celebration of all of the innovation happening in greater Madison.

The Forward Festival Startup Showcase features an evening of startup pitches from some of Madison’s most compelling emerging companies. Approximately five startups will be selected to give a 5-minute “demo day” style pitch. In addition, several Startup Showcase alumni from past years will take part in a lightning round of 1-minute update pitches. The Startup Showcase is a high energy stage that celebrates and showcases what’s next in Madison’s startup ecosystem and is open to early and later stage companies, venture and non-venture backed companies, as well as for-profit and non-profit companies. Checkout highlights from prior years’ events here.
The Startup Showcase is presented by Capital Entrepreneurs. Startup Showcase is part of the 2019 Forward Festival, which runs August 22-29, 2019.
