Varsity Venture Studio is an exciting new initiative on campus that is open to everyone in the UW-Madison ecosystem. UW-Madison, WARF and High Alpha Innovation are collaborating to bring the venture studio model to our campus in order to turn ideas into funded software businesses.

• Ideas can come from anywhere on campus
• Ideas don’t need to be “fully baked” – just throw your idea in the mix
• Ideas should address a big problem that can be solved by software or an app
• You don’t have to be a software developer or know how to code
• No patents or invention disclosure required

Visit the website to learn more, attend office hours, and submit ideas.
