Startup Milwaukee Week has announced the schedule for its third annual weeklong event focused on early-stage companies, which will be held from Nov. 5 to 11.
Matt Cordio introduces the inaugural Reverse Pitch MKE event at Milwaukee Startup Week 2017.
Previously known as Milwaukee Startup Week, the program will include more than 50 events throughout the week spotlighting emerging companies and the infrastructure in place to support them. It aims to forge partnerships among companies and share best practices in entrepreneurship.

- “Tapping the Federal $2.5 billion Technology Innovation Seed Fund,” a primer on the SBIR/STTR programs for research and development.
- “Startup Milwaukee Showcase,” an expo for startups to demonstrate their products and services in a casual atmosphere.
