About this job

HEAD OF ACCELERATOR PROGRAMMING/COORDINATOR ABOUT THE MILL The Mill (www.dimensionmill.org) is Bloomington’s center of gravity for innovators, remote workers, entrepreneurs, and creators. We renovated a 105-year-old building from the Showers Brothers Furniture Company and transformed it into a 19,000 square-foot coworking space and business incubator. Already a major driver of innovation in our community, The Mill is home to 30 companies and more than 200 members. They’re a crucial part of the infrastructure - talent, capital, and training - we need for the 21st century to help our City and State evolve in the new economy. Operating as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, our mission is to launch and accelerate high-potential companies, and our vision is to become the center of coworking and entrepreneurship in Indiana. ABOUT THE POSITION We are adding a full-time Head of Accelerator Programming to our team. Launching and accelerating companies will be how we lift ourselves from this economic crisis and since COVID-19, we’re doubling down on that mission. This position will be responsible for preparing our startups for pre-accelerators (free, no equity) and accelerators (equity-based investment). They will run a pitch and messaging bootcamp to help them polish their applications and interviews. They will also coordinate Crossroads, our annual statewide pitch competition, build out our formal mentor network, and advise startups to win SBIR grant funding. In addition to partnering with B-Start, Firestarter, and gBETA, The Mill may also start its own pre-accelerator or accelerator depending on need and demand. The Mill is still new - two years old in November – and we don’t know what we don’t know. You should be eager and willing to tackle new experiences and situations, and you’ll need to execute them flawlessly. We’re also a small team so you need to be a jack-of-all-trades and master of them too. Some of these activities might include, but aren’t limited to, taking out the trash, making morning coffee, attending a sponsor pitch, and giving tours to prospective members.
