Join IU Ventures for a Founders & Funders conversation with Orange Bike Brewing founder and CEO Tom Ruff. An Indiana University alumnus whose father taught at IU for more than 30 years, Tom’s story came full circle when IU Ventures invested in Orange Bike during its earliest days, taking a chance on both the company and the founder behind it.

Tom will share the journey of building Portland’s first dedicated gluten-free brewery, the challenges of launching and scaling a mission-driven business, and the importance of having investors who believe in a vision before it is fully realized.
