To harness Indiana University's creativity and to strengthen Indiana's economy, IU created the $10 million Innovate Indiana Fund. The fund provides equity capital for company formation and to support these new ventures at early stages, when funding is most difficult to obtain. This evergreen fund--available to individuals with an IU connection-- provides seed capital to start, nurture, and grow technology start-ups, giving faculty and entrepreneurs a new resource for the support they need. Prior to funding, the Innovate Indiana Fund will coordinate with the founders/company to identify and agree upon the commercialization strategy and specific R&D milestones to ensure that a clear road map is articulated at the earliest stages. Pre-seed investments are funds dedicated to technologies that are on a defined development path or that seek to answer a very specific commercial question. Seed investments support product finalization, customer acquisition, and activities for scaling up your start-up business. 114 startup companies have been worked with since 1991.
