Investing in Innovation: Why the RALLY Access Fund is Critical to Indiana’s Business Future
Indiana’s business success hinges on innovation, collaboration, and access to opportunity. Yet, too many small business owners, and those that dream of owning a business or working with an innovative company, face barriers preventing them from engaging in the spaces that drive economic growth. Without access to key networking events, investor connections, and industry-leading insights, these promising entrepreneurs and innovators need on ramps to thrive.
This is where the RALLY Access Fund steps in.
The RALLY Access Fund was created to ensure that entrepreneurs from all backgrounds have a seat at the table—because Indiana’s economy grows stronger when they succeed. By contributing, businesses are fueling an ecosystem where diverse ideas flourish, partnerships take root, and the next wave of Indiana’s business leaders can emerge.
“Innovation thrives when we provide on ramps for all,” said Christopher Day, CEO of Elevate Ventures. “The more we uplift small businesses and bright minds, the more our entire ecosystem benefits. Indiana businesses have an opportunity to play a direct role in ensuring that all promising entrepreneurs—regardless of background—have access to the tools and relationships they need to succeed.”
One of the most immediate ways to support this mission is by contributing to the RALLY Access Fund. Your investment enables small business owners, minority founders, and students to access an event that could redefine their professional journey.
“Investing in access is an investment in economic growth,” said Emil Eikyor, CEO of InnoPower and initiator of the RALLY Access Fund. “When small businesses and underrepresented entrepreneurs are included in spaces like RALLY, they bring fresh ideas, diverse perspectives, and innovative solutions that drive progress for everyone.”
Your contribution also provides the added brand benefits of:
● Logo placement on our event website, app, and social media channels.
● Logo placement on digital signage.
