About Event

Join us for a casual, high-energy networking reception following a Founder Lab feedback session with student teams from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

We’re opening the doors to the broader Bay Area ecosystem for an opportunity to connect with:

  • UW alumni (“Bay Area Badgers”) interested in tech and entrepreneurship

  • Early-stage investors and operators

  • Industry professionals exploring emerging technologies

  • Anyone interested in the intersection of AI, startups, and Midwest innovation

This event will take place at Third Coast Foundry (625 2nd Street), a new space designed to bring Midwestern universities and innovation communities into the heart of the San Francisco venture ecosystem, located near major VC firms and the AI corridor.

Meet the Teams

You’ll have the chance to meet and connect with Founder Lab teams working on applied AI and emerging technologies:

  • Praxora - Clinical skills preparation for medical students

  • MottoNote - AI-native memory layer for capturing and retrieving context across workflows

  • Fairlytics - Real-time bias mitigation tool for machine learning models.

  • EverOS - Edge-based orchestration platform for coordinating distributed systems (drones, sensors, etc.)

  • Lyntra - AI-powered planning tool that turns complex work into structured, executable steps

What to Expect

  • Informal networking with students, alumni, investors and industry professionals

  • Conversations around early-stage ideas, applied AI, and venture opportunities

  • A chance to plug into a growing Midwest innovation presence in San Francisco

Light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.

This is not a formal pitch event, it’s a chance to connect, exchange ideas, and see what’s emerging from the next generation of builders and entrepreneurs.
