IEA Membership Members are selected through a competitive application process because the size of classes is limited. They all support the Indianapolis Entrepreneurship Academy. Prominent local entrepreneurs and business professionals support IEA by serving on the Board of Directors. They donate time and energy to assist Academy members. Directors also provide financial and in-kind contributions to sustain IEA operations.
Patrons contribute additional financial support.
Volunteer business persons serve as hosts and speakers at IEA programs. As a member, you participate in weekly discussion groups. Guest speakers address topics related to starting, financing and growing a business. Established entrepreneurs describe what what it takes to be successful, share lessons about their challenges and triumphs, and tell the inside story about Indianapolis area businesses. You may also meet individually and in small groups with successful business owners to explore your interests and get personal advice.
