Capital Entrepreneurs + TheHub + StartingBlock

 The first Madison Startup Fair took place in 2013 and has happened every year since. For this Startup Fair, Capital Entrepreneurs has partnered with TheHub, StartingBlock Madison, and the UW Dept of Computer Sciences to bring you a condensed, energetic, and informal way to get connected with Madison area startups. At the start of the event, you'll hear pitches from each startup about what they do and what they're looking for. Learn about internship and full-time job opportunities, find a mentor, and talk one-on-one with startup founders and employees.
