Madison is getting a new tech business accelerator: gener8tor. Its goal: To provide money and mentoring to young tech companies early on, before they?ve gotten any other outside investment, and give them a running start, said Joe Kirgues, a co-founder of gener8tor. In fact, two of gener8tor?s organizers, Kirgues and Joel Abraham, were with 94Labs. Joining them in the new project are Dan Armbrust, president of Granite Microsystems, and Troy Vosseller, founder of Sconnie Beer and co-founder of Sconnie Nation.?We got together and decided we wanted to work to help startups in the state,? said Kirgues, a Milwaukee native and a UW-Madison law school graduate.
