A Tech Community,
Built by Founders
Connect317 started the way many communities do: a few founders claiming a corner of a bar, catching up with friends. No formal organization, no grand plan, just people who kept showing up.
They brought colleagues, partners, and friends, and conversations turned into introductions, collaborations, and opportunities. A simple gathering became a growing community.
Today, Connect317 exists to strengthen Indiana's tech ecosystem, creating space for founders, operators, technologists, investors, and community leaders to connect, make friends, learn, and build together.
We aren’t a pipeline for any one company, fund, or agenda. Its value comes from the people who show up, share what they know, and invest in each other's success.
Built by the community, for the community.
