What is Indiana Venture Support?

Building a high-growth venture-backed company is no small feat. The fundraising process can be long, complex and full of unknowns. Our cross-sector venture team has a combined 300+ years of experience in industry, operating and venture investing roles. We have the most experienced team in Indiana and access to one of the largest networks of domain experts and individual and institutional investors across the region and country. 

Who should engage with the Venture Support?

Founders and operators who seek to build innovation-driven, venture-backed, high-growth companies in Indiana. Our team is ready to be that sounding board and provide industry and venture insights based on your business summary and/or pitch deck. Such engagement may lead to connectivity to capital, customer or talent sources within our network and in our innovation community. When founders/operators succeed, our entire community benefits.
