As you may know, what used to be “Innovate WithIN” is now officially the “STARTedUP Challenge” but that’s not the only change.

This year marks the inaugaral “STARTedUP Summit” (https://www.startedupfoundation.org/summit) which will combine what for the past two years have been separate events: The State Finals for the pitch competition, and the Alumni Showcase at the State Fair (which I participated at, twice). The STARTedUP Summit is bringing it all together under one Butler University-shaped roof for one big day of entrepreneurship!

Join me on June 12 in the West Lobby as I talk to tablegoers about Studio O and The Crate of Curious Things: my way of encouraging more cardboard art in the world. Also, stop by all the other awesome tables, and watch some of the finalists pitch on the big stage! It’s bound to be a great event!
