Madison’s gener8tor has joined a seemingly growing roster of companies looking to support or take up space inside what could soon be a business hub for Black entrepreneurs on the city’s South Side.

From more than 85 applicants, five healthcare startups were chosen for the 2021 Cohort, the first gBETA Medtech program specifically for Black founders.

Civic intelligence technology firm Curate Solutions, based in Madison, was bought by Washington, D.C.-based FiscalNote Inc., a technology provider of global policy and market intelligence.
