Matt McIlwain (center) congratulates Madrona Prize winners Eric Larson and Mayank Goel
The research day of the UW CSE Industry Affiliates Meeting concludes with an open house (reception, posters, lab tours) for Affiliates attendees and regional alumni and friends.
For the 7th year, Madrona Venture Group awarded the Madrona Prize to the students whose research had the greatest commercial potential. In addition, the People’s Choice Awards were given to the most popular research poster or demo in each lab.
Congratulations to all the winners – and to all the participants (89 posters/demos involving more than 150 students). And thanks to Madrona for their long-standing encouragement of our entrepreneurial activities.
