Over the past nine weeks, eight companies have been doing more than talking about their ideas. They’ve been building, testing, refining, and making real progress toward bringing physical products to market.
Now, we’re opening the doors to Machyne, 16 Tech’s makerspace, to show you what they’ve been working on.
Join us for the Traction Showcase, a celebration of the inaugural Traction cohort and an opportunity to get an up-close look at the products, prototypes, and businesses these founders are bringing to life.
You’ll have the chance to meet the founders, see and interact with what they’ve built, hear about the challenges they’ve tackled, and learn where they’re headed next.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, industry professional, potential customer, ecosystem partner, or simply someone who loves seeing new ideas come to life, we hope you’ll join us.

About Traction
Funded through Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s Community Collaboration Fund (CCF) grant, Traction is a nine-week, hands-on entrepreneurship program at 16 Tech designed to help early-stage founders move from validation toward execution. With access to Machyne, individualized support, industry connections, and non-dilutive funding, participants focus on making meaningful progress toward bringing their physical products to market.
