Our flagship annual event, October 28–30, leading into IU Homecoming weekend. The one time Bloomington's builders — founders, capital, talent, and partners — all show up for each other.

Our free monthly gathering. one evening a month at The Mill: a short program, then open networking. No membership needed, open to anyone building something here.

A four-hour, hands-on build event on October 8, hosted by Major League Hacking with us. Come with what you're working on and leave with something tangible. Technical and non-technical founders welcome, students included.

Everything happening across the Bloomington ecosystem — our events and the ones we're keeping an eye on around town.

The people and companies building Bloomington, in their own words. Founder journeys, member wins, and community stories.
