The (virtual) Startup Showcase is a high energy stage that celebrates and showcases what’s next in Madison’s startup ecosystem. Started by Capital Entrepreneurs in 2013 as the original pitch event at the Forward Fest, it features an evening of startup pitches from some of Madison’s most compelling emerging companies. A select group of 5 rising startups will give a 5-minute “demo day” style pitch showcasing their company. In addition, Startup Showcase alumni from past years will take part in a lightning round of 1-minute update pitches highlighting their recent successes.
