Wisconsin VC Funding for December 2023
According to Pitchbook, Wisconsin startups raised just under $13 million in December.
JOY HELPS created an app built for college students by behavioral health researchers, therapists, and AI experts. The app can be integrated directly with college behavioral health services, residence life and academic support services. Launched in April 2023, the app offers mental health assistance, as well as academic support, diet and nutrition guidance and other useful tools for students. The five co-founders are all faculty members at UW-Whitewater.
December accelerator funding came from Madison’s Madworks Accelerator, which provides grants, mentors, lean startup methodology, structure, access to next-round finance and much more to selected early-stage companies.
