I live in Valpo where this is taking place. I've helped with some mentoring with people running this program but am not affiliated with it financially/as a job. Just think it's a neat program and would like to see some really neat start-ups in my backyard.

If you have any questions about the area/program, etc, I'd be happy to help answer whatever I can. 15k in seed, similar length, and should be a good way for a few potential startups to get a look at funding.
