There's more in the making.
You have the power to change everything.
The state of Indiana stands at a crucial crossroads. Despite substantial investments in startup creation, the expected returns are falling short. We've come to realize that the state needs a fundamental, systematic change in how we cultivate entrepreneurial talent. The Founders Club represents this new, grassroots approach to igniting a new startup culture in the Midwest. This is where true innovation begins, from the ground up.

Here's what founders have said about us.
It was the highlight of my time at Purdue and was really motivating to meet other founders who were pursuing what they actually wanted to do.
Everyone was so open and honest from the get go and it made everything awesome and authentic. It's what I was looking for more than anything.
The amount I learned in a short time was f*cking insane.
Bouncing ideas among peers would really get me thinking in new ways.
There are great resources available and I met some great people.
The atmosphere, the people, the pitches - everything was super.
One of my favorite things I've ever participated in during my time here at Purdue!
I got to take advantage of the rare opportunity to meet founders in different majors.

In summary, we're building a community for the people that aren’t interested in just “getting a job”. But we aren't done. In order to change the culture for creating startups in the Midwest, we need to (1) expand the funnel and (2) increase available capital at earlier stages. For full details on our roadmap for the next 18 months, fill out the form below.
