The Level Set Coaching Program
The Level Set coaching program is a 6 month program, comprising tailored mentorship for idea stage companies and solo-preneurs. The program is industry agnostic. In addition to receiving a $1000 grant and connecting them to entrepreneurial leaders in the community, we ensure that these organizations move their ideas forward using a milestone based coaching process..
The program is open to both for profit and not-for-profit organizations that are domiciled in Wisconsin. Companies enrolled in the program have received:
Access to over $1M in perks and benefits
$1,000 in grant funding per participating team
6 month membership to StartingBlock (24x7 access), with an exclusive space at StartingBlock dedicated to Level Set companies
Regular access to StartingBlock staff and connections to their network of mentors and experts and to Madworks community sessions
