gener8tor Milwaukee invests $100,000 into each of five high-growth startups per cohort across all industries and business models. Startups take part in an intensive 12-week, cohort-based accelerator program, which includes business coaching, mentorship, more than $1 million in deals and perks, and access to the gener8tor network of mentors and investors.  

The selected startups are:

eCourt Reporters a Burlington, Wisconsin-based court reporter scheduling tool

Optikal a Norcross, Georgia-based contact care subscription platform

UPI Study a Toronto, Canada-based international transfer student platform

gener8tor Milwaukee received more than 420 applications from across the world for the program. The companies were chosen based on their growth potential and investor readiness.  

“This was a highly -applicant pool, and these startups impressed us with their well-rounded teams, revenue traction, market opportunity and scalability,” said Molly Dill, managing director of gener8tor Milwaukee. “This program not only supports these five companies, but also brings opportunity and economic development to the entire Milwaukee business community.”  

At the end of the gener8tor Milwaukee program, the startup founders will pitch their companies to investors, community partners and the public at a Showcase event in Milwaukee on Sept. 21.
