Inaugural Spring 2026 Cohort — In Progress
The sprint is underway. Come to the Showcase.
A group of UW-Madison students are 9 days deep, working on real projects, showing up every morning, and making serious progress on things they care about.
Applications for the Spring 2026 cohort have closed, but the Showcase is open to everyone.

StartingBlock Madison
Free and open to all. Spots are first-come, first-served.
Join the list below for Fall 2026.
Each participant shares where they started, what they accomplished over 9 days, and where they're headed next — across a wide range of projects from across UW-Madison. No judges, no prizes.
Who should come?
Builders & Founders
You're working on something — a startup, a side project, a brand — and you want to connect with other people who take their work seriously.
Future Creators
You've been thinking about starting something but haven't yet. Seeing what this cohort did in 9 days might be the push you need.
Collaborators
You don't have your own project yet, but you want to contribute to something meaningful. A good place to find a team or a mission worth joining.
Just Curious
You want to see what other students are creating. That's reason enough.
Investors, VCs & Mentors
Some of the most driven students on campus, working on real projects. A good room if you're looking to meet early-stage founders or mentor the next generation.
