Time for Entrepreneurial Culture Shock.

To strengthen the resources available for entrepreneurs in Northeast Indiana, The Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership made the establishment of Elevate Ventures in the region a priority under Vision 2020.

This partnership has been named elevate northeast indiana, and will work to encourage entrepreneurs and nurture emerging and existing businesses and develop them into high-performing companies in Northeast Indiana.

Partner contributions will support entrepreneurial activities. Initiatives will include investments in local businesses, portfolio services, a dedicated Entrepreneur-in-Residence, events for entrepreneurs and investors, marketing support, business coaching, access to professional resources and more.

As a result of this partnership, elevate northeast Indiana launched the Fortitude Fund, (formerly called the Farnsworth Fund) to be a catalyst for changing the entrepreneurial culture of the region. To learn more about the Fortitude Fund, click here.
