Last week at CheckIN, Elevate released our 2023 Indiana Venture Report. Myles Grote also delivered his State of VC focused on the macro climate and whether we are currently in a secular high-rate environment.

In 2023, the state of VC was hit with a major downturn. The investment total in Indiana, dropped from $1.09B to $526.8M, down more than half. However, amidst this downturn, Indiana's ecosystem stands resilient. With a maturing infrastructure and an ever-expanding network of support, the state is poised to continually adapt to the evolving landscape.

Head to the comments section for the links to our 2023 Indiana Venture Report and recap from Myles' State of VC presentation.
