>100 UW student entrepreneurs, 5 meetups, and many connections later—the first semester of ramp100, UW-Madison's student-run entrepreneurship community, is officially in the books. It's amazing how a room booked every other Thursday can become something as special as a community of friends united by a passion for building a better future. Want to take a peek inside one of our Thursday night meetups? Check out the article Jason Li and I wrote here: https://lnkd.in/g4NFY_zd And we're only getting started. RSVP for our first Spring 2025 meetup here: https://lu.ma/ghrcoiqc While I'll be studying abroad in Madrid next semester, I'm leaving the meetup in amazing hands with Ashwin Jandhyala and Truman Nolte—two UW students who've helped shape this community from day one. Stay tuned for some big updates coming soon—this is just the beginning of something very special. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to learn more :) #UWMadison #WisconsinStartups #StudentFounders #Entrepreneurship #StartupCommunity #UWStartups #StartupLife #BuildInPublic #StudentEntrepreneurs

Wow 120+ registrations to the 🎉 Holiday Party 🎉 Huge thanks to the communities that have helped bring this together. Are you a founder or part of a startup? Join us! This all started when JJ Pagac and I were chatting, realizing that the small companies in our organizations don’t always have the opportunity for their own holiday celebrations. We thought, “Why not bring everyone together?” And then we thought bigger: “Why stop at just our groups? Let’s get as many small companies across the Madison community involved as possible!” Bringing together founders, freelancers, and entrepreneurs from across the community has turned into something truly special, and we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you. 📅 When: Wednesday, December 18th ⏰ Time: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM 📍 Where: 100 State (17 S Fairchild St, FL 7, Madison, WI 53703) This community-driven holiday party is hosted in partnership with: 🎁 Madison Freelancers 🎁 Women In Tech 🎁 MERLIN Mentors 🎁 Weinert Center for Entrepreneurship 🎁 gBETA 🎁 Capital Entrepreneurs Sponsored by: Herbal Aspects, Vintage Brewing Company, & NHTI 👉 RSVP now before we hit capacity: https://lu.ma/mu0077qk #MadisonEntrepreneurs #CommunityHolidayParty #CelebrateTogether #MadisonStartups

The Women in Technology Wisconsin (WIT) Northeast Wisconsin chapter's annual holiday party was a ton of fun. This is such an engaged group of professionals!
A conversation worth having and continuing to better support company growth in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin has crazy rules for companies that raise significant venture capital. If a Delaware corporation (which is still the standard) is headquartered in Wisconsin, it has to file an annual report with the state including the amount of additional paid in capital for the year. Then, the state charges the startup a fee for the assets/capital that it has in Wisconsin. The higher percentage of the company's assets that are in Wisconsin, the higher the fee. The more money the company raises, the higher the fee. This rule/fee is causing companies to think about moving people/assets outside of Wisconsin. The fee only applies to foreign corporations (such as a Delaware corporation, that qualifies to do business as a foreign corporation in Wisconsin). Not foreign corporations that are certified as QNBVs by the WEDC. Not foreign LLCs. And not corporations formed in Wisconsin. Under this rule, Companies are punished for hiring more people/placing more assets in Wisconsin.

About four or five months ago, Raj Muthupandiyan and I were brainstorming on how to better connect and inform local area Manufacturers on technology. And a new user group was born 🙌 - MKE Manufacturing Tech User Group. Last night, we held our third monthly meeting at the Connected Systems Institute (CSI) at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. We had a very engaged crowd, and I really enjoyed meeting some new people, and learning about how CSI is partnering with Microsoft to improve talent and technology at Manufacturers. Special thanks to Joe Hamann, Shamar Webster for the cool tour, and hosting us! 🙏
