PARTNER

Partner with the operators building Indiana's future.

OWN Indiana reaches the people the rest of the market struggles to: real owner-operators, where they actually are. If your organization genuinely serves Indiana businesses, there may be a fit.

How we think about partnership

We protect the room. That is why it is worth something.

We are not a lead generation list and we are not a marketplace. Partners support the work and earn genuine standing with an operator community that does not let just anyone in.

No attendee lists.
No selling from the stage.
No pay to play programming.

The reach we offer

Four ways to show up.

The rooms

Curated, in person operator events in metros across Indiana.

Operator Notes

A trusted newsletter that Indiana operators actually open.

Built to OWN

The podcast, and operator stories turned into things people share.

Boots on the ground

Local owner hosts who can put the right people in the room.

Ways to partner

Pick the fit. We will tell you honestly.

Event partners

Presented by your company, supporting a specific room or Industry Night.

Ecosystem partners

Chambers, EDCs, SBDCs and nonprofits who serve Indiana owners. No fee, by arrangement.

Capital partners

Investor operators and family offices who actively support operators.

Advisory partners

Vetted professionals who genuinely serve this community, with clear boundaries.

Get involved

You do not have to sponsor to help build this.

Lead a city

OWN grows by adding leaders, not by stretching a core team. We partner with a local owner operator who convenes OWN in their city. You bring the room and the relationships. We bring the brand, the playbook, Operator Notes and support. The recognition is the pay.

Become a Community Lead

Join the team

We are small and we can use the help. If you want to work on OWN itself, whether that is events, content, the podcast, partnerships or operations, tell us what you are good at and how much time you have.
