TechPoint announced 17 awards Friday night at its Mira Awards gala in Carmel. The annual awards program recognizes achievements in Indiana’s tech sector.
As the new president and CEO of Indianapolis-based TechPoint, Eric Christopher’s focus is on helping tech companies — and the state’s tech industry itself — grow and achieve big things.
Christopher, the co-founder of Indianapolis-based software firm Zylo, has more than 20 years of experience in securing venture capital and scaling high-growth software companies.
TechPoint, the growth initiative for Indiana’s tech sector, said the report highlights “a year defined by recalibration and renewed focus on long-term value creation.”
Indy Women in Tech was formed in 2016 to encourage women and girls to enter science, technology, engineering and math careers.
Gootee, who has held the top job at TechPoint since May 2022, is stepping down to take positions with the Central Indiana Corporate Partnership and Crossroads Health Ventures.
The Indiana CDO Network, which seeks to bring together chief data officers and other high-level data and analytics leaders, launches later this month.
Nationally, $23 billion was raised through May, according to PitchBook, far less than the forecasted $90 billion.
The Central Indiana Corporate Partnership report’s findings show that tech-industry funding has still not rebounded from the slowdown that began in 2022.
Indianapolis-based TechPoint, which supports the state’s tech sector, honored Republic Airways, Accutech and 18 other winners at its annual Mira Awards gala Thursday night.
Sweden-based ImagiLabs and Minnesota-based Awesome People Leaders say participating in an Indy-based startup accelerator convinced them to expand their operations in Indiana.
An expected tight budget cycle could limit how much lawmakers are willing to designate for existing technical investments—never mind additional requests.
While not unusual for venture funding in a third quarter, the latest investments totaled a small fraction of what Indiana tech firms received in both the first and second quarters of this year.
The program, a joint effort between Butler University, Indianapolis-based TechPoint and Wisconsin-based gener8tor, offers $100,000 investments to each of the participating companies.
TechPoint has secured a $50,000 cash prize from the U.S. Small Business Administration to help with this effort.
Indiana’s tech companies landed a combined $348.8 million in venture funding last quarter, which was the strongest first-quarter activity since recordkeeping began in 2015, TechPoint says.
The annual Mira Awards honor the best in tech in Indiana. Indianapolis-based TechPoint said the record number of entries for two of the key awards underscores the “vibrancy of Indiana’s tech sector.”
The Indiana Founders Network is intended to help entrepreneurs connect with peers for personal support and networking. The group’s kickoff event takes place in January.
Equity investments in each of the firms will come from a Butler University philanthropic fund, and the school is currently talking with potential additional investors.
Echoing national trends, both the number of venture investments into Indiana companies and the total value of those deals declined as compared with last year, the TechPoint report says.
