This week’s episode of “WisBusiness: the Podcast” is with WARF Ventures Partner Greg Keenan.

The discussion explores the path ahead for the recently announced Third Coast Foundry effort, a two-year pilot project involving UW-Madison and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation along with seven other universities.

It’s anchored by a 3,500-square-foot workspace and event center in San Francisco’s South park neighborhood, envisioned as a hub for linking with venture capital and startup activity in the area.

“It really is a way for us, as a collection of some of the top research universities in the Midwest, to connect our universities to investors, talent, alumni and certainly with each other in the hotbed of startup and tech investing,” Keenan said.
