The Crossroads Pitch Competition showcases Indiana's top entrepreneurs, fostering early-stage startups by offering cash prizes, and exposure to mentors, investors, and customers. Now extended to Hoosier college students through Crossroads Collegiate, it emphasizes statewide participation and diversity.

Startup Summer offers Indiana college students the opportunity to work full-time on their startups while receiving a $2,500 stipend. Participants get a full-time membership to The Mill in Bloomington, where they receive individualized support, mentoring, and the chance to pitch to investors. The program runs from May to July, culminating in a showcase event, and includes various networking and social activities.
