Co-Innovation
We build with startups, corporate leaders, and technologists to shape bold ideas into impactful solutions.
Shaping the Future
Co-Innovation is how we connect advanced technologies to real-world challenges and convert powerful ideas to working solutions. We engage with startups, corporates, and engineers to build, test, and scale what matters.
Whether it’s building an AI prototype in the lab, bringing a bold, scalable idea into existence, or integrating new capabilities from a rising startup —we bring clarity to ambiguity and momentum to vision.
Where Ideas Take Root
TitletownTech Builder Studio
Our studio work sessions offer bold ideas the runway they need to grow. Whether you're a corporate leader exploring a new venture, a founder building from the ground up, or a team ready to spin out something game-changing, this is where vision meets execution.
​
TitletownTech attracts innovators — giving them space, support, and proximity to resources that move ideas forward. From early concept to market-ready, we help shape what's next.

How It Works
As a founding partner of the Microsoft AI Co-Innovation Lab in Wisconsin, we help turn high-value use cases into working AI prototypes—fast. You’re in the build with us, shaping what matters and setting the stage for real deployment.
Clarify the Challenge
We help you identify the use case that’s worth solving—one that’s high-value, proprietary, and not solvable with off-the-shelf tools.
Ready the Inputs
You’ll align data, standard operating procedures, and team context so the AI model can be built for how your operations actually work.
Build with Us
Over the course of several days, you’ll work directly with Microsoft engineers to develop a functional prototype—something tangible, testable, and tailored to your environment.
Leave with a Plan
You don’t just walk away with a prototype—you leave with a roadmap, a trained team, and the confidence to carry AI further in your organization.
We don’t hand you a product—we build with you, not for you. The pace is fast, but the work runs deep: you’ll move quickly, with full immersion and strategic focus. And everything we build is grounded in your world—your data, your workflows, your people. No templates. No off-the-shelf fixes. Just meaningful progress, made together.
AI in Action
Real problems, real prototypes
—co-developed by corporate teams, startup thinkers, and Microsoft engineers.
AI-Powered Farm Assistant for Hydroponic Management
Fork Farms, an agtech innovator, worked with TitletownTech and Microsoft to design an AI assistant that helps users manage planting, maintenance, and crop scheduling. Built with real sensor data, SOPs, and farm best practices, the tool provides proactive insights through a conversational interface. The result? A scalable, data-driven platform that makes indoor farming more accessible—even without deep ag expertise.

“The setup lends itself to a true forcing function for innovation... we had breakthroughs we wouldn’t have achieved on our own.” - Kevin Boyle, Director of Emerging Business, Fork Farms
Who Should Engage
Whether you're a startup, a corporate team, or somewhere in between—if you're ready to build, we’re ready to partner.
Startups
You're developing AI-powered tools or frontier tech and looking to prove them in real-world environments. We help you shape use cases, gain traction, and build with industry alongside you.
Corporate Teams
You’re facing a real operational challenge—or exploring a bold new idea. Whether it’s your first AI initiative or a push to scale innovation across the org, we help you move from concept to working prototype with speed, clarity, and strategic alignment.
Small & Midsize Manufacturers
You don’t need a full data science team to explore AI. We help you identify high-impact use cases, build working prototypes, and unlock efficiencies through technology that fits your workforce and operations.
Researchers & Technologists
You’ve got expertise. We help you apply it. The Co-Innovation Lab is a chance to shape, test, and stretch technical approaches in ways that matter to users and industry.
Real Companies, Real Impact
We partner with organizations across industries to move fast, build smart, and unlock what’s next.
These are just a few of the companies we've worked with in the lab.
