We offer a variety of mentoring to help you bring your ideas to life. To schedule a session, write to luddysic@indiana.edu.
Shoemaker entrepreneurship mentoring sessions
Each month, experienced professionals in the entrepreneurship community meet with students to give feedback on their business concepts. The sessions are free, and there's no obligation to work with the mentors or their companies.
Ice Miller startup law advisory sessions
We’ve partnered with Ice Miller, one of Indianapolis’s largest law firms, to provide free initial consultations to student innovators—so you can have the confidence to expand your intellectual property without the fear of losing your rights.
After the initial consultation, there’s no obligation to work with Ice Miller. Subsequent meetings, filing fees, and other miscellaneous charges will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
Elevate Ventures capital counseling sessions
Through a partnership with Elevate Ventures, a prominent, Indiana-based venture capital fund, experienced investors provide free initial consultations to student entrepreneurs regarding what they should be considering when raising capital for their start-up.
After the initial consultation, there's no obligation to work with Elevate Ventures. In addition, holding a meeting with Elevate Ventures does not constitute an investment commitment.
DeveloperTown technology counseling sessions
Due to a partnership with DeveloperTown, an experienced, Indiana-based technology and product development firm, technologists provide free guidance to student entrepreneurs regarding what they should be considering when building the technology inherent in the concepts they are developing.
There's no obligation to work with DeveloperTown, and any agreements with DeveloperTown are made directly between the student and the firm.
