Madison and the University of Wisconsin are developing their startup scene more since I&#x27;ve started here.<p>The nice part about Madison is that it <i>isn&#x27;t</i> just the university, like some are commenting about UIUC. The Ionic framework is based out of Madison, made by two Wisconsin grads. Gener8tor is an accelerator in this city and they&#x27;re growing. They really do provide good opportunities to founders, and they have funding from State Farm insurance that seems to be steady, so I have hope that things can really go somewhere. Though I have to say that having been around their office and at a few events they really don&#x27;t feel tech-oriented.<p>And then the university has their own stuff. To anyone at UW-Madison reading this: avoid them! WARF is a hungry parasite and if you do anything interesting they will do their best to take their perceived share.
