Indiana University’s commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship is embodied in IU Ventures, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit affiliate of the university that invests to generate long-lasting social and economic impact for Indiana University, the state of Indiana, and the world.

As both an investor and a connector, IU Ventures activates Hoosier Nation via the IU Founders and Funders Network, channeling talent, capital, and mentorship into high-potential, early-stage startups that are building the future and strengthening the Hoosier innovation economy.

In addition, IU Ventures operates complementary investment programs—the IU Angel Network, the IU Philanthropic Venture Fund, and Hoosier Angels Fund 1—that together create a continuum of investment support for IU-affiliated entrepreneurs, from idea stage to growth.

Here's where you come in! Your generous gift can support critical initiatives including (but not limited to) the following:*

• The IU Angel Network, a marketplace connecting IU founders with IU funders. Since 2020, we’ve helped direct over $10M in angel investments into IU-affiliated startups.
• The IU Founders and Funders Network, which helps activate IU’s world-class venture community of founders and funders.

Your support advances these important programs—and more! Thank you for your gift.

*No direct expenditures will be processed through this account. The funds will be transferred to the IU Research and Technology Corporation's account held at an outside banking institution.
