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
