Summary
—Executives from five Madison startups are in Silicon Valley this week meeting with five venture capital firms, including Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.But the announcement marks a big shift in the underlying technology of Harley’s hogs, as the 111-year-old company continues to try and evolve to reach new customers, like young urbanites.—100health, the Madison healthtech incubator, named the six portfolio companies it will work with this summer.They are Breadcrumbs, a network of health IT experts; ICD-10 Illustrated, which sells a tongue-in-cheek coffee table book, “Struck By Orca,” as well as a deck of cards that both poke fun at some of the bizarre diagnoses in the international medical code system; Patient Proxy, which is developing software to simplify the creation of living wills and health proxies; Your Good Neighbor, which helps match patients with healthcare providers; Slant Mobility, which is developing mobile software for improving the interaction between physical therapists and patients; and EHR Alums, a network for former employees of electronic health records vendors.—Milwaukee legislation to allow Uber and Lyft to operate legally continued to move forward, passing the city’s Public Works Committee last week.
