MRUN

We are about Midwest Startups. We bring together the people behind the ideas, the talent and the capital that drive research and technology commercialization. Bringing university researchers, entrepreneurs, management talent, and early-stage investors together at the right time and with the right chemistry remains a critical challenge in the Midwest. The Midwest University Research Network (MRUN) is a Midwest-wide network focused on connecting those who create, fund and grow high tech ventures... In the last several years ecosystems that provide startup life-support have evolved in many cities across the region but without communication across the numerous geographically dispersed nodes of high-tech startups concentration, innovation does not scale. MRUN serves as a venue where those engaged in building startups could exchange ideas and apply them in the context of their own institutional practices, constraints and cultures... MRUN's top priority is relationship building to improve..
