Turns out it's chic to just start.

Any idea. Any school. Any stage.

Applications are open through September 6.

Come join us. Because what's not chic is to do it alone.

On May 21st, the IU Innovates Student Startup Showcase took the stage at Henke Hall, Memorial Stadium — the home of IU's 2026 National Champions — and proved that championship culture lives beyond the field.

The Showcase, as part of the IU Ventures Founders and Funders Venture Summit, brought together 22 student founders, 7 accomplished alumni and panelists and a sold out room of 250+ Hoosiers! Here's a sneak peak for you 🙌

Watch the full showcase on YouTube (link in bio).🔴⚪️

After months of interviews, writing, and designing, the 2026 IU Entrepreneurship Book is finally here! 🚀

This year’s edition highlights the learning-and-launch journey of Indiana University’s student entrepreneurs — capturing the lessons, pivots, risks, and milestones that shape their individual entrepreneurial experiences.

From exploring and scoping a problem space to making a first hire, each student featured in this book brings a unique perspective on what it means to build something new. We’re excited to share their stories, insights, and journeys with you.

Thank you to our collaborator, for helping us tell the stories of IU's entrepreneurs for the third year in a row! 🙌

You can view the 2026 edition on our website or you can obtain a physical book in person from the Von Lee on Kirkwood Ave. in Bloomington.

Second Nature: Our Second Biannual Creative Entrepreneur Showcase

This semester at IU Creates, our ensemble of creative entrepreneurs has been bringing to life work across art, music, design, writing and more. Just like bees carrying pollen between flowers, during this beautiful Spring, our artists have been cross-pollinating ideas across disciplines and communities--from dorm rooms to classrooms, studios to coffee shops. Ideas have moved. Collaborations have deepened. Creations have sprung alive.

Join us to experience these projects firsthand. Meet the artists behind them. Become part of the ecology that brings it all to life.

Because creation is never solitary. It's always, already, about connection.
