Support Indiana’s tech founders.
Starting a new business, service or product is a daunting task, but inventors, innovators and founders have long been described as courageous, audacious and brave. Less often acknowledged and rarely addressed are other attribute these trailblazers share: loneliness, brutal stress and even fear.
In Indiana, that lack of attention on the psychological price of entrepreneurship stops today with the launch of the Indiana Founders Network, an organization supported by TechPoint but led by members.
Networking Breakfasts
Founders will gather at these breakfasts for an informal conversation around a central topic. No presentation – just discussion.
These gatherings are an informal, approachable way for founders to build relationships and share knowledge with each other.
Pitch Night Gatherings
Ahead of TechPoint’s quarterly Pitch Nights, the founders network will gather for informal networking. During the Pitch Night, founders will provide authentic feedback to each other on their pitches and readiness to raise venture capital.
These events are free thanks to the generous sponsorship of our partners. For more information about sponsorship, please visit our prospectus.
Deals & Perks
Members will gain access to deals and perks for valuable startup growth tools including software, coworking spaces, and more.
In order to ensure this forum remains a trusted connection point for founders, TechPoint invites individuals who meet one of the following criteria to apply for inclusion in the Indiana Founders Network:
The Indiana Founders Network is a community of founders whose focus is building a scaling, venture-bankable business, including tech-enabled, tech-product organizations. Our meetings and events are “no-sales zones” and vendors, investors and services providers are not invited to join.
To be considered, apply to the network using the form below and we will connect with you within a few business days to inform you of your status and, if approved, plug you into all of the resources associated with the Network.
Join us for the first Indiana Founders Network Annual Summit!
At the Summit, attendees will get an update on the Network’s progress so far, continue to build relationships with others in the community, and hear from a panel of legal experts on common mistakes startup founders make in their earliest stages.
Agenda:
1:30-2:00pm – Registration
2:00-2:15pm – Welcome & State of the Network
2:15-2:45 – Insights from Startup Counsel Panel
2:45-3:00 – Closing & Wrap Up
TechPoint couldn’t provide this level of high quality collaboration and programming without the generous support of our sponsor partners. We’re pleased to recognize the following Indiana Founders Network sponsors and we encourage you to patronize their businesses.
