Worth knowing: High Alpha is the distinctive feature most national IB-career surveys understate for IN. Founded in 2015 by Scott Dorsey (Salesforce ExactTarget founder) plus Mike Fitzgerald + Eric Tobias, High Alpha pioneered the 'venture studio' model — a hybrid VC + company-builder structure that combines $300M+ in venture capital with a studio that creates and incubates B2B SaaS companies. High Alpha has produced ~30 portfolio companies including Lessonly (sold to Seismic 2022 for ~$500M), Zylo, Terminus, Sigstr (acquired by Terminus 2019), and Costello. Senior High Alpha partners + studio operating partners clear $285-655K+ TC including carried interest participation. OneAmerica Financial (Indianapolis HQ since 1877, ~$30B revenue, mutual life insurance + retirement services) + Lincoln Financial Group (Fort Wayne HQ, Fortune 500, ~$17B revenue) together employ substantial asset management + senior investment professionals in IN. Eli Lilly's substantial corporate development + M&A activity post-GLP-1 success (Lilly has been an active acquirer in obesity/diabetes/inflammation pipelines) drives senior in-house VP-level corp dev opportunities. IN's 2.95% flat + Marion County 2.02% piggyback (4.97% combined effective) is among the lower US senior-finance state burden — Hamilton County (Carmel/Fishers, 1.10% piggyback) residency saves $5,520+/year at $450K MD/Director comp. Substantially below peer-state IL or MN at senior IB tier.
