About this Event

Join us for COLLIDE and connect to Bloomington's startup & tech community! We'll hear a short pitch from a local founder, then Pat East, Executive Director of The Mill, will lead a fireside chat with a guest in a leadership position or venture capital, followed by a Q&A and networking over light refreshments. Learn what's happening in entrepreneurship and innovation, get inspired, ask questions, and connect to community. You don't have to be an insider to get the inside skinny! Everyone is welcome at The Mill, Bloomington's nonprofit center for entrepreneurship and innovation.
