Free trainings to help innovators develop and implement their creative ideas or technologies are offered each academic year (virtual this Fall). This number includes 27 existing startups that received assistance over the past fiscal year (July 2019 – June 2020), and 8 new startup companies recently launched during that same period.ĭ2P supports faculty, staff, and students pursuing entrepreneurial ventures, including the commercialization of technologies resulting from university research and development of innovative consumer products and solutions to social problems. Since its inception in 2014, UW–Madison’s Discovery to Product (D2P) office has helped launch or grow 56 startup companies led by campus innovators. While economic uncertainty and the changes to daily life caused by the global pandemic have created countless challenges for business owners across many sectors, startup companies founded by UW–Madison innovators have managed to demonstrate resilience. The fall 2019 cohort of D2P’s Igniter program included Happ:y Wellness co-founders Paul Mross (back row, third from right) and Paul Smith (front row, right).
