Elevate Nexus provides resources and thought leadership to Indiana higher-education institutions and the entrepreneurs they engage. Elevate Nexus Pitch Competitions offer promising startups, preferably engaged with Elevate Nexus partnered colleges and universities, the opportunity to secure foundational capital needed to launch their businesses.

At this event, startups will have 10 minutes to pitch and respond to questions from a panel of Elevate Ventures judges. Three $20,000 pre-seed and two $80,000 seed investment will be awarded to the startups that provide the best pitches. Winning companies will also gain access to all resources Elevate Ventures provides portfolio businesses and will be invited to pitch again for additional funding at an August 2022 statewide pitch competition.
