“IT professionals as well as CEOs are reimagining how technology can help them better handle new realities such as remote work, supply chain issues and increases in cybersecurity threats,” said Reggie Gresham, vice president of enterprise sales at Matrix Integration. “These changes are here to stay, and many companies are viewing these challenges as opportunities to restructure how they do business and how technology fits into that picture.”

The Mill, Bloomington’s nonprofit center for entrepreneurship and coworking, today announced the launch of Startup Summer, a new program to pay collegiate founders to build out their startups.
“Startup Summer is essentially a paid internship program for collegiate founders,” said Pat East, Executive Director of the Mill. “In this case, however, the students are getting paid to work for themselves: to intern at their own startup.” Participants will work on their startups for 25 hours a week out of The Mill’s coworking space in downtown Bloomington. They’ll set individualized goals for their businesses and receive personalized support. Andy Lehman, Head of Accelerator Programming explained, “This program targets founders who already have a minimum viable product or close to it. We know many students have businesses that are almost ready to launch, or even up and running. Startup Summer makes it possible for these founders to spend the summer positioning their startups to succeed, without having to sacrifice getting paid.” |
