TitletownTech

What TitletownTech does

TitletownTech is an early-stage venture capital firm headquartered in Green Bay, Wisconsin, formed in 2019 through a partnership between the Green Bay Packers and Microsoft. The firm operates a three-part platform — an Innovation Lab that explores transformative digital solutions, a Venture Studio that builds market solutions alongside early-stage companies, and a Venture Fund that provides growth capital — targeting founders leveraging emerging technologies in digital health, advanced manufacturing, supply chain, agriculture, energy, and sports. Across two funds ($25M closed in 2020 and $70M closed in July 2023, totaling approximately $95M in capital raised and nearly $100M AUM), TitletownTech has invested in more than 30 portfolio companies across the country, including Oculogica, StatusPRO, Springbok Analytics, GenLogs, Ateios Systems, and Ubicept.

Its business model is standard venture fund management: equity investments in early-stage startups generating returns through capital appreciation and, potentially, carried interest, supplemented by program-level initiatives. The 2025 launch of the Startup Draft — a nationwide pitch competition awarding $1M investments and $350K in Microsoft Azure credits, hosted alongside the NFL Draft — and the FutureTech Forum, an invitation-only executive community for AI, quantum, fusion, robotics, and autonomous systems, extend the firm beyond capital deployment into deal-sourcing and corporate convening. Recent operational expansions include the 2025 AI Co-Innovation Lab with Microsoft, UW-Milwaukee, and WEDC in Milwaukee, and a Microsoft Discovery AI research collaboration with UW-Madison.

Go-to-market relies on the Packers' community brand and Microsoft's technology distribution, a 30+ corporate-partner network (Ariens, Kohler, Schneider, etc.), an 8-person Council of Chief Advisors spanning technology, healthcare, supply chain, manufacturing, law, and venture capital, and the Startup Draft's national broadcast footprint. Leadership comprises Managing Partners Craig Dickman and Jill Enos, Partners Neil Mix and Cordero Barkley, and Senior Strategic Advisor Mike Gallagher (former U.S. Representative).

Direct peers

• gener8tor: Milwaukee-based early-stage VC and accelerator running a multi-fund, multi-vertical platform. Directly comparable to TitletownTech in Midwest focus, early-stage mandate, and corporate-anchored investment approach; both compete for Wisconsin and Great Lakes deal flow.
• M25: Chicago-based early-stage VC investing across the Midwest with a focus on tech-enabled startups. Highly comparable to TitletownTech in stage, geography, and check size, with overlapping competition for founders in Illinois, Wisconsin, and adjacent states.
• Drive Capital: Columbus, Ohio-based early- and growth-stage VC focused on the Midwest. Comparable to TitletownTech in regional mandate and sector breadth, though Drive Capital typically writes larger checks and operates with a substantially larger team.
• Revolution (Rise of the Rest): Steve Case's venture firm with a dedicated fund investing in startups outside the coastal tech hubs. Directly comparable to TitletownTech's regional economic-development mission and brand-led platform model, though operating at materially larger fund size.

Broad incumbents

• M12 (Microsoft's Venture Fund): Microsoft's own corporate venture fund. TitletownTech and M12 share a Microsoft relationship — M12 is the broader incumbent in Microsoft's CVC strategy, while TitletownTech is a regional/community node; M12 represents both a partnership and a potential competitive threat for AI and enterprise software deals.
• GV (Google Ventures): Alphabet's venture arm and one of the most established CVCs. Comparable to TitletownTech as a corporate-anchored multi-stage investor, though GV operates globally with $10B+ AUM and a much larger investment team.
• Intel Capital: Intel's corporate venture arm with a long track record in deep tech, semiconductors, and emerging-tech investing. Comparable to TitletownTech's emerging-tech focus (AI, autonomous systems, advanced manufacturing), though Intel Capital is far larger and globally distributed.
• Foundry Group: Boulder-based early-stage VC investing across software, consumer, and frontier tech. Comparable to TitletownTech in stage and emerging-tech orientation, though operating at a substantially larger fund scale and with a multi-decade track record.

Regional players

• Wisconsin Investment Partners: Wisconsin-based angel and early-stage investment network. Closely comparable to TitletownTech's regional Wisconsin mandate and founder-support orientation, though smaller in AUM and operating as an angel network rather than an institutional VC.
• Capital Midwest Fund: Wisconsin-focused early-stage investor. Comparable to TitletownTech in regional focus and stage, providing direct overlap in Wisconsin deal sourcing and competition for founders.
