TechPoint is Indiana’s nonprofit tech ecosystem champion. Our partnerships are built on shared purpose, fiscal responsibility and a genuine commitment to growing Indiana’s tech economy.
These principles guide how TechPoint evaluates partnership opportunities, selects organizations to work with and ensures each relationship supports our mission, responsibilities and long-term impact.
1
Shared Mission
We seek partners who believe in Indiana’s tech future, not just a business transaction. Alignment with our mission is the starting point for every relationship.
2
TechPoint Membership
Becoming a TechPoint member is one of the clearest ways an organization can demonstrate real investment in the ecosystem. Membership signals ongoing commitment to Indiana’s tech community and carries weight in how we evaluate partnership opportunities.
3
Competitive Bidding
As a nonprofit, we are stewards of resources entrusted to us. Before awarding any business, we conduct a competitive bid or RFP process to ensure fairness, accountability and best value — consistently applied across all vendor and service categories.
4
Transparency
Partners can expect clear communication about timelines, criteria, and outcomes — whether or not we move forward together. Respectful process reflects our values.
5
Mutual Value
The best partnerships go both ways. We look for relationships where TechPoint’s reach amplifies partner impact, and partner expertise advances our mission.
The Competitive Bid Process
Opportunity is scoped and requirements are defined internally.
Qualified organizations are invited to submit proposals via RFP or structured bid.
Proposals are evaluated on mission alignment, capability, value and partnership potential.
TechPoint leadership or committee makes the decision.
All participating organizations are notified of the outcome promptly.
What We Ask of Partners
Treat Indiana’s tech economy as a shared priority, not just a contract opportunity.
Communicate openly, especially when circumstances change.
Respect our competitive and nonprofit processes.
Bring genuine engagement and creative thinking.
