When Winslow Sargeant’s term ended at the National Science Foundation this year, he could have gone anywhere.

Sargeant, who earned his doctorate in computer and electrical engineering at UW-Madison, is a Dot-Com Bubble survivor with a wealth of hard-earned entrepreneurial experience and a Rolodex bulging with prime contacts from three years with the NSF’s Small Business Innovation Research program.
