Mike Gallagher has accepted a job with TitletownTech as a senior strategic advisor, the group announced in a press release on Monday. 

TitletownTech is a venture capital firm formed out of a partnership with Microsoft and the Green Bay Packers that invests in entrepreneurs and is located in the Titletown District across from Lambeau Field.

Gallagher, 40, served as the U.S. Representative for Wisconsin’s 8th District, which includes Brillion, Chilton and Hilbert, from 2017 to 2024, after first winning election in 2016. He resigned prior to his term’s expiration next year and because of when he resigned, a special election could not be held so the seat in the House of Representatives is empty until January.

"I am excited to join TitletownTech and contribute to its mission of transforming Wisconsin into a hub of technological innovation," Gallagher said in the press release. "Wisconsin is on the front lines of geopolitical competition in the 21st Century, and has a critical role to play in enhancing America’s economic competitiveness in general and technological leadership in particular. I look forward to working with the TitletownTech team to drive Wisconsin’s growth by making it the best destination for top-level tech-talent and thereby advance America’s national security interests." 

"Bringing Mike into our organization is a critical step forward in our commitment to innovation and competitiveness," said TitletownTech Managing Partner Craig Dickman. "His leadership in Congress and deep knowledge of technology and security will be crucial as we continue to back transformative companies in various sectors." 

Gallagher was an intelligence officer in the Marines prior to entering government work. While in Congress, Gallagher took part in multiple national interviews often based around national security and his push to ban TikTok, the popular app owned by the Chinese Communist Party.
