Thank you to our IUPUI host, co-hosts, sponsors, and community partners who made the Indy PopUp Business School possible including: PopUp Business School, IUPUI, John Boner Neighborhood Centers, The City of Indianapolis, Kelley School of Business, IU Innovate Indiana, Indiana Small Business Development Center, Taft, Business Ownership Innovative, Forward Cities, Indy Black Chamber of Commerce, Pattern, Taxwright, Browning, Indianapolis Urban League, and Centers of Wellness for Urban Women.
Thanks also to the attendees for their commitment and enthusiasm. We had a great turnout of 105 attendees.
The PopUp Business School team, Simon, Liam, and Jessica shared start-up information that urged us on and challenged our thinking - all with a large dose of humor. Our participants learned everything they needed from taxes, to social media, to finding the confidence necessary to be an entrepreneur. It was an amazing event that gave raising entrepreneurs the chance to get their business off the ground, and help out our community.
The public Marketplace at the Alford House was a huge success too thanks to community support. We were joined by Major Joe Hogsett and many community members who came out to see all of the products and services our participants had to offer. This gave them the opportunity to gain exposure to possible future clients, and even make their first sale! We saw great products such as the Kangoo Jumps brought by SweattBoxx, and all the great food provided by various chefs who shared their own traditional foods with all of us.

We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to bring such an amazing program to Indianapolis, and we hope to be able to have them back next year!
