Following what attendees have called “the best Mira Awards season ever,” TechPoint will host its third annual Winners’ Circle event connecting this year’s honorees and select scale-up companies with more than 30 out-of-state venture capital and growth equity firms, investment banks, media, influencers and tech buyers together to build relationships, spotlight innovations, and create future investments here in Indiana.

The invitation-only Winners’ Circle event will be held on Thursday, June 15 at the beautiful Biltwell Events Center just Southwest of Monument Circle and Lucas Oil Stadium near Kentucky Ave. and Interstate 70 along the White river. More than 200 invite-only attendees, 40+ qualifying scale-up companies and the 30+ select out-of-state investors are expected to attend.

The Winners’ Circle powered by TechPoint is an efficient and productive, high energy opportunity for exposure and relationship building, with the hope that more investment, stories, partnerships and customer relationships might result. This video from Winners’ Circle two years ago shows what to expect.

Additionally, TechPoint partnered with the Venture Club of Indiana to create INX3, a multi-day event series that brings together Venture Club’s Innovation Showcase alongside TechPoint’s Winners’ Circle and other entrepreneurial and innovation-focused community events. TechPoint encourages anyone and everyone interested in the tech community to attend any of the public events and programs.

The leaders of Venture Club and TechPoint intend for this joint effort to be an annual event series and they are recommending that local companies consider hosting board meetings or company site visits for investors on Friday, June 16 while the investors are in town.
