About Abby Kursel

I am a partner at gener8tor, a turnkey platform for the creative economy that connects startups, entrepreneurs, artists, investors, universities and corporations. The gener8tor platform includes pre-accelerators, accelerators, corporate programming, conferences and fellowships focused on entrepreneurs, artists and musicians.At gener8tor I am predominantly responsible for the gBETA program a free, seven-week accelerator for early-stage companies. Each program is capped at five teams, and requires no fees and no equity.I initially joined the gener8tor team for two programs as an intern, working directly with gener8tor’s startups making sales calls, creating content, filling sales funnels and developing marketing strategies.After graduating from UW-Madison in May 2014 with a BBA in Marketing, I came on full time as Program Manager where I helped plan, schedule and run each of gener8tor’s two annual programs, recruit startups to future programs, and organize community building events such as OnRamp.
