Customers: Help to scale startups through new and existing markets
Capital: Highlight sources of capital available to entrepreneurs in various regions and sectors
The kickoff event will provide the opportunity to learn more about entrepreneurial opportunities in Indiana, connect with founders focused on growing their businesses, and check out the dozen companies demonstrating in expo hall. It will take place in a vacant 100,000 sq. foot office park building provided by partners Jones Lang Lasalle and Prologis and will feature keynotes from co-founder of ExactTarget and Compendium, Chris Baggott, and Scott Case, CEO of the Startup America Partnership.
"I had the pleasure of experiencing first-hand Indiana's amazing startup scene when I came out for the Super Bowl," said Case. "I'm incredibly excited to see the local startups, large companies and entrepreneurial leaders come together though Startup Indiana to make it an even better place to start and grow a company and encourage all startups in the state to join today."
