Build Night: Founder Showcases, Football & Study Space
Join us for a special Build Night featuring 2 UW–Madison student founder showcases, followed by a relaxed football watch party and a dedicated quiet study space.
🧠 5:00–5:15 PM — Praxora Founder Talk - Pouya Mirzaei
The founder of Praxora, formerly PersonaXR, will share insights from the Lab’s San Francisco founder trip, their founding journey, and what it has been like building a product that recently gained major traction online, including over 1 million views across TikTok and Instagram and strong early interest from ambassadors, beta testers, and launch signups.
🎓 5:15–5:30 PM — Bucky Match v2 Product Showcase - Evan Liu
The founder of Bucky Match will present Bucky Match v2, a rebuilt UW–Madison course-planning product that helps students map their degree, explore grade distributions and professor ratings, and build next-semester schedules more easily.
⚽ Starting at 6:00 PM — Soccer Watch Party
After the founder talks, we’ll keep the space open for building, studying, and connecting with other students. Starting at 6:00 PM, we’ll also have a football watch party - Portugal v.s. Croatia.
📚 Dedicated Quiet Study Space
For anyone who prefers a quieter environment, there will also be a dedicated quiet study space available.
Come for the founder stories, product demos, community, or just a good place to work, study, and hang out.
