The Program Director will lead the gBETA Milwaukee and the gener8tor Wisconsin Investment Accelerator programs in addition to other Wisconsin-centric responsibilities including but not limited to leading or supporting other gBETA and Investment Accelerator programs in Wisconsin. The Director recruits and selects companies and executes programming tailored to researchers and entrepreneurs solving problems across all industries. The Director will coach startups and create networks and introductions for accelerator cohorts. The gBETA program is seven weeks and will be delivered in-person in Milwaukee, WI. Outside of the formal accelerator program, the PM will continue to work with accelerator alumni, recruit and hold office hours with startups and actively participate in the Wisconsin startup community, building relationships with stakeholders, mentors and investors.
