Welcome to the staff blog for IndianaEntrepreneur.tv, an online video magazine dedicated to Indiana’s business innovators. We would like you to think of this blog as a print magazine’s “letter from the editor”– a place where we can provide commentary on the stories you are viewing and give you an insightful glimpse at what is going on behind the scenes.

For instance, I’d like to highlight one of our first video stories which explores the state of entrepreneurship in Indiana and how it compares to other locales around the country (see Back Home to Indiana). The current video features footage from the August Venture Club meeting where a panel of Indiana entrepreneurs shared their experiences of returning home after pursuing ventures on the more entrepreneurially disposed west and east coasts. It’s interesting that although none of the panelists cited Indiana’s state of entrepreneurship as their primary reason for returning (all of them cited a “family” reason such as being closer to relatives or wanting to raise their children in the Midwest), each of them noted that the economic culture is drastically different than when they left, which has allowed them to return to Indiana.

By featuring startup companies and highlighting recent new business initiatives, IEtv hopes to do its part to raise awareness for entrepreneurship in Indiana and to change the perception that Indiana can't be home to high-potential startups - and we would like our viewers to be highly involved in the process. Our inboxes are always open to receiving your comments and story ideas and to fielding your questions about starting and running a business (see Ask an Entrepreneur).
