8
00:00:43.576 --> 00:00:50.450
IN THAT COURSE OF THE WEEKEND,
REALLY FOCUSING ON THREE CORE
AREA AS OF LEARNING, NETWORKING,
AND LAUNCHING.

9
00:00:50.450 --> 00:01:01.494
AND THE LEARNING PIECE, WHAT I
THINK DISTINCTIVELY SEPARATES
STARTUP WEEK IN EVANSVILLE FROM
OTHER EVENTS WHICH HAVE THEIR

10
00:01:01.494 --> 00:01:08.401
PURPOSE BUT KIND AFTER STARTUP
WEEKEND EVANSVILLE REALLY
FOCUSES ON THE BUSINESS.
WHAT IS THE INTENTION OF THE

11
00:01:08.401 --> 00:01:13.540
BUSINESS.
>> YEP.
GROWTH.
THIS IS 7.0, SEVENTH YEAR.

12
00:01:13.540 --> 00:01:18.611
THAT REFLECTS SUCCESS AND
GROWTH.
HOW DID IT ALL START, SEVEN
YEARS AGO?

13
00:01:18.611 --> 00:01:30.089
>> 2008, OUR 2009, IT WAS PUT ON
MY RADAR BECAUSE A COUPLE GUYS
IN BOULDER, COLORADO THAT OWNED
A CYCLE SHOP WERE LOOKING FOR

14
00:01:30.089 --> 00:01:38.498
WAYS TO BETTER DEVELOP THEIR
IDEAS AND FRIENDS' A IDEAS SO
THEY CAME UP WITH THIS MODEL.
THEN IN 2010, THE KAUFMAN

15
00:01:38.498 --> 00:01:45.738
FOUNDATION GOT BEHIND IT, PUT
SOME MONEY BEHIND IT, REALLY
SHOT IT FULL OF STEROIDS,
CREATED A 501(C)3 AND THAT'S

16
00:01:45.738 --> 00:01:57.750
WHEN IT BLEW UP. UP TO
>> TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT.
THIS IS A GREAT NETWORKING
OPPORTUNITY OBVIOUSLY THAT TAKES

17
00:01:57.750 --> 00:02:04.757
PLACE NEXT WEEKEND, BUT THERE
HAVE BEEN SOME COOL THINGS TO
COME OUT OF STARTUP WEEKEND.
>> ABSOLUTELY.

18
00:02:04.757 --> 00:02:14.634
WE'VE BEEN A REALLY GOOD --
DESCRIBED AS A CATALYTIC DRIVER
OR FEEDER NOT ONLY LOCALLY BUT
IN THE REGION.

19
00:02:14.634 --> 00:02:20.507
OF WE'VE TOUCHED 25 DIFFERENT
COUNTIES AS FAR AWAY AS
MICHIGAN, BUT SOME OF THE UNIQUE
OUTCOMES OF THAT HAVE BEEN OTHER

20
00:02:20.507 --> 00:02:27.480
STARTUP WEEKENDS BECAUSE THE
MODEL IS SO REPLICATABLE, WHICH
WE ENCOURAGE.
THEY COME TO OUR EVENTS, ARE

21
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:36.689
VERY INSPIRED, SEE THE OUTCOMES
AND REPLICATE.
SO THERE'VE BEEN THREE WEEKENDS
THAT HAVE COME OUT OF OURS.

22
00:02:36.689 --> 00:02:42.962
OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
ORGANIZATION CAME OUT OF STARTUP

25
00:02:59.546 --> 00:03:08.855
GIVE YOU A CHANCE ABOUT THE
CULTURE IN SOUTHWEST INDIANA
RELATED TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP,
MINOR PROGRAM GETTING NATIONALLY

26
00:03:08.855 --> 00:03:14.360
RECOGNIZED, THERE'S A LOT OF
MOMENTUM DOWN THERE.
>> AND WE HAVE AN EAGLE
INNOVATION ACCELERATOR PROGRAM

27
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:20.867
THAT'S STILL VERY EMBRYONIC.
THAT TAKES IN SOME IDEAS THAT
COME OUT OF STARTUP WEEKEND AS
WELL TO FUND THOSE IDEAS AND TRY

28
00:03:20.867 --> 00:03:30.543
TO ACCELERATE THEM TO THE
MARKETPLACE AS WELL.
>> ALL RIGHT, VERY GOOD.
INNOVATION IN INDIANA IS A
