A note from Cy Megnin
Entrepreneur-in-Residence for Velocities
”Hi there! My role at SC Indiana is to increase entrepreneurship and innovation. I help entrepreneurs level up in the way that your company needs to (pitch deck support, networking, or product-market fit, etc). You can be a student just starting out, or a company that has raised funding and is working to figure out where to go next. Either way, I’m ready to jump in!
