Introduction The purpose of this study is to comprehensively examine the performance of the 21st Century Research and Technology Fund and the Indiana Angel Network Fund, both of which have been managed by Elevate Ventures. We focus on the changes since the previous study conducted in 2010 by our office, the Center for Business and Economic Research at Ball State University. To perform this study, we use data from January 2010 through December 2014 to examine individual fund recipients and provide a comprehensive description, over time of the quantity, type, industry and regional focus of 21st Century Fund and Indiana Angel Network Fund recipients. We then analyze the diversity and key sectoral changes in the Indiana economy in those industries targeted by the 21st Century Fund. This component is linked to more recent IEDC studies on key sectors. We also identify the aggregate impact to output, investment and employment in Indiana associated with the 21st Century Fund, the Angel Fund, SBIR/STTR, and the Indiana High Growth Fund. Using the Indiana REMI model, we estimate the long-term effect of these funds under alternative funding scenarios and under differential assumptions regarding impacts. We include model results and a draft entrepreneurial climate analysis for Indiana s counties. Finally, we include a description of the focus of the fund and how its intent of translating innovation to economic growth is supported by this focus, how that focus changed since the previous study, and how the implementation of a new focus is designed to influence the Indiana economy. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively examine the performance of the 21st Century Research & Technology Fund, the Indiana Angel Network Fund, SBIR/STTR matching funds, and the Indiana High Growth Fund. Background The Indiana General Assembly created the state s 21st Century Research and Technology Fund in 1999 to stimulate research and development efforts in the state. The Indiana 21st Century Research and Technology Fund was comprehensively reviewed in 2010 by the Center for Business and Economic Research. This process recommended several changes to the structure of the fund, several of which were implemented by the General Assembly. Evaluation is needed for these changes, along with the new goals, within the context of the state and national economies and the accompanying fiscal conditions. With the passage of Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) was formed to support state-level programs that lend funds to small businesses and that leverage private lending. Such funds (combined with the leveraged private funds) can then be used by businesses for creating or expanding jobs in the state. Indiana received $34 million as a result of this SSBCI initiative from the U.S. Treasury and allocated the funds to four state initiatives the Indiana Angel Network Fund, the Indiana Seed Fund Holdings, Terms 21st Century Research and Technology Fund (21st Century Funds): Startup capital awarded by the State of Indiana to accelerate growth and job creation through research and technology in pre-revenue and early revenue Hoosier companies. Managed by Elevate Ventures Inc. Elevate Ventures Inc.: Provides business analysis and advisory services to Indiana s firms and nonprofits. Manager of Indiana s 21st Century and Angel funds, among others. Indiana Angel Network Fund (Angel Funds): Seed money provided by the State of Indiana to empower Hoosier entrepreneurs in business creation and improvement. Managed by Elevate Ventures Inc. Indiana High Growth Fund (IHGF): Funds issued to private lending corporations, who then issue loans to high growth opportunity businesses by leveraging them into further private funding mechanisms. Indiana Seed Fund Holdings (Seed Fund): A pre-venture capital fund designed to promote business formation and growth of Indiana based companies, which are at a preliminary stage of operation. Investments usually made over a 2-3 year period. Managed by Elevate Ventures Inc. REMI: Common abbreviation for Regional Economic Models Inc., an economic estimation tool that incorporates the strongest aspects of four major modeling approaches: input-output, general equilibrium, econometric, and economic geography. SBIR/STTR: Abbreviations for two similar grants Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer. Grants by the U.S. Department of Energy s Office of Science to support scientific excellence and technological innovation in small, for-profit firms. State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI): Program from the U.S. Treasury to support state-level programs that lend funds to small businesses and that leverage private lending with the intent of job creation and business expansion. 1

In 2011, IEDC and Elevate Ventures Inc. a 501(c)(3) corporation in Indiana collaborated and formed a 21st Century Fund Limited Partnership. Elevate Ventures manages Indiana s 21st Century Fund and SSBCI Funds. Figure i shows a timeline of major milestones during the operation of the fund. Metrics We use the following metrics to evaluate the performance of the 21st Century Research and Technology Fund, the Indiana Angel Network Fund, the Indiana High Growth Fund, and the SBIR/ STTR matching funds. Leverage ratio: Leveraged funds 21st Century, Angel, SBIR/ STTR, and IHGF funds award amount Distribution of funds by industry and region between 2010 and 2014: Measures the diversification of 21 Fund by industry and its regional impact in stimulating the job growth across Indiana s regions. Federal obligation to Indiana by agency: Federal obligation to state allows 21 Fund to evaluate the amount and trend of grants received by the state from various federal agencies. This metric will help 21 Fund to understand the growth potential of specific industry sectors that are associated with the agency over time, along with the success in leveraging state funds into federal research dollars. Research and development expenditures in science and engineering across universities in Indiana: This metric provides 21 Fund with information regarding the growth and share of academic expenditures across various disciplines under science and engineering. They also offer 21 Fund to target spin-off companies arising from university research. Industry sector trends: This metric show the trends in specific industries targeted (or) could be potentially targeted by 21 Fund, measured in terms of growth in employment, establishments and payroll. Estimate the overall economic impact of the 21st Century Fund, Angel Fund, Indiana High Growth Fund, and SBIR/STTR matching funds. State ROI: The return on investment for Hoosier taxpayers is a more challenging metric than standard financial metrics. Indiana benefits from employment, earnings, and investment by both businesses and households that would not typically be considered in a financial analysis of business investment. Moreover, the timing of benefits to taxpayers will likely be longer, and more geographically diffused than a typical ROI to an investor. We discuss this in the aggregate effects section. 2

Description of Fund Trend of Dollar Amount versus Awards As shown in Figure 1, a total of 74 projects have been funded from 2010 to 2014 through 21st Century, Angel, SBIR/STTR, and Indiana High Growth (IHGF) funds. The number of awards funded from 21st Century Funds wavered between 2010 and 2014. However, the awards from the Angel Fund (commenced in 2012) have been increasing steadily from six awards in 2012 to 18 awards in 2014 thus far. The IHGF was disbursed to individual companies through four initiatives Lynx Capital Corporation ($881,000 funded in 2011), Indiana Community Business Credit Corporation ($1 million funded in 2011), Cambridge Ventures L.P. ($1.28 million funded in 2011), and Indiana Statewide Certified Development Corporation ($273,000 funded in 2012). In this study, we classify these four initiatives as financial institutions, where they are provided with a combined total of $3.43 million for distributing to individual firms based on their own objectives. Since 2010, a total of $27 million has been awarded through 21st Century, Angel, SBIR/STTR, and IHGF funds for various projects. As shown in Table 1, 21st Century Funds have awarded $20 million between 2010 and 2014. Also in that time, Angel Funds have awarded $7.1 million, SBIR/STTR have awarded $0.2 million, and IHGF have awarded $3.4 million. Leverage Ratio Firms would seek additional funding from various public/private sources as there are limits to receive award through 21st Century, Angel, SBIR/STTR, and IHGF funds. The leverage ratio (i.e., leveraged funds 21st Century, Angel, SBIR/STTR, and IHGF funds award amount) was 9.82 in 2010 for the fund recipients. Between 2011 and 2014, the leverage ratio has been in the range of 2.04 and 5.89. Figure 2 displays the leverage ratio for each year. For additional data on leverage ratio, see Appendix Table A1.

Industry Share We obtain the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes of all the Fund awardees using manta.com, a publicly available online database of individual businesses. We then classify the funds by their first two-digits of industry NAICS codes to designate the major economic sector. Information and professional, scientific, and technical services projects received a total of 32 deals between January 2010 and December 2014 through 21st Century, Angel, SBIR/STTR, and IHGF funds, which is about 43.3 percent of the total deals among the nine industries to which the funding has been awarded. As a part of fund s goal to assist in diversifying the state s economy, awards were distributed among other sectors such as wholesale trade (12.2 percent), manufacturing (12.2 percent), retail trade (10.8 percent), and other industries accumulating to 21.6 percent. As for the dollar amount, the professional, scientific and technical services industry secured $6.57 million (21.4 percent), followed by information industry with $6.56 million (21.3 percent), wholesale trade with $5.2 million (16.9 percent) and other industries amounting to $12.4 million (40.4 percent). Table 2 shows a breakdown of deals and award amounts by industry. In terms of award type, information sector has been the most funded industry under both 21st Century Fund and Angel Funds with 23.3 percent and 30.5 percent of the total number of deals respectively from 2010 to 2014. The information sector also received highest share of award amounts from 21st Century Funds (23.5 percent) and Angel Funds (25.5 percent). This is followed by professional, scientific and technical services with 23.6 percent of total 21st Century Fund awards and 25.3 percent of total Angel Fund awards. See Figure 3 for the share of awards by industry for each type of awards. For additional data on deals and award amounts by industry and fund type, see Appendix Table A2.

Changes to Research and Development Efforts Federal Obligation to State by Agency Figure 8 shows that the federal obligation to the state of Indiana compared to the U.S. had been in the range of 0.54 percent to 0.80 percent during 2008-2012. Similarly, the federal obligation to Indiana as compared to all midwestern states was in the range of 7.2 percent and 8.4 percent for the same period. In 2009, the federal funding from various agencies to Indiana had increased by $437 million (an increase of 65.06 percent) to $1.1 billion from $672 million in 2008. During the same period, the total federal funding to all the states increased by $13 billion, which is an 11.1 percent increase from 2008. However, in 2010, the total federal funding to Indiana fell by $120 million (a decrease of 10.87 percent) relative to previous year and has been steadily falling since then. Figure 9 shows federal obligation to Indiana by each agency from 1992 to 2012. For additional data on federal obligation, see Appendix Table A6. Figure 8: Total Federal Obligation to Indiana, 1992-2012 Source: National Science Foundation The largest contribution to Indiana for research and development in 2009, in terms of dollar amount, came from the Department of Defense with increase of $274 million (87 percent increase relative to previous year; with 53.1 percent share of total obligation), the Department of Health and Human Services with an increase of $63 million (29.8 percent increase with 24.7 percent share of total obligation), and the National Science Foundation with an increase of $59 million (an increase of 75 percent with 12.5 percent share). After 2009, the percentage share of obligation for most agencies stayed at the same level. Number of Patents Figure 10 shows the trend of patents issued in Indiana since 1996. The number of patents filed in Indiana was fairly constant between 1998 and 2003 and then declined until 2008. From 2009 onward, the number of patents has reliably increased with a 21.2 percent improvement between 2009 and 2013. The percentage of Indiana s patents as a share of total United States patents has increased slightly from 1.4 percent in 2009 to 1.6 percent in 2013.

Academic R&D Expenditures in Science and Engineering As of 2012, Indiana s total academic expenditures for research and development (R&D) in science and engineering stood at $1.15 billion. Figure 11 shows that about 50 percent of it is attributed to federally financed expenditures, which were $584.9 million. The rest of expenditures were spread across state and local government expenditures at $56.7 million, industry expenditures at $60.5 million, expenditures through institution funds at $359 million, and all other sources contributing to $88.8 million. The percent share from various sources has stayed almost the same since 1995. For additional data on Indiana s R&D expenditures, see Appendix Table A7. University R&D Expenditures By Discipline Figure 12 shows the breakdown of the total university R&D expenditures in Indiana by science and engineering fields in 2012. The life sciences discipline received about 49 percent of the total expenditures and engineering received 24.6 percent, followed by physical sciences (9.5 percent), social sciences (6.6 percent), math and computer sciences (5.23 percent), and others (5.11 percent). By University Figure 13 displays the academic R&D expenditures in science and engineering fields for Indiana s major public and private universities in 2012. Purdue University and Indiana University had the highest R&D expenditures with 46.6 percent and 40 percent respectively. About 40.6 percent of total R&D expenditures for Purdue University had been in engineering followed by life sciences with 39.5 percent. About 70 percent of Indiana University s R&D expenditure was focused in the life sciences field. For additional data on university R&D expenditures, see Appendix Table A8. Non-Federal Expenditures Public and private universities have relied upon non-federal funding for their R&D in the science and engineering fields. The non-federal includes financing from state and local government, institutions, businesses, and any other sources. While Purdue University and Indiana University have accounted for more than 50 percent of nonfederal funds, Ball State University had relied heavily on non-federal funds after 2007. Figure 14 shows the percent share of non-federal expenditures by universities in Indiana.

Trend for Selected Industry Sectors The 21st Century and Angel funds have been investing in various projects across disciplines such as software publishers/information technology, life sciences/health care, engineering, and retail. While these are broad categories, it is imperative to see how the industryspecific fields have performed over the years. Considering 1998 as the base year (100 points), Figure 15 displays the employment index, the establishment index, and the annual payroll index for selected industries in Indiana. Between 1999 and 2012, the software publishers sector had experienced the highest increase in employment (52.6 percent increase), closely followed by navigational instrument manufacturing (51.85 percent increase). These two sectors also saw more employment growth from 2010 to 2012. The engineering services sector and the computer systems design sector showed an increase in employment of 37.93 percent and 23.86 percent respectively. Semiconductor manufacturing and metalworking machinery manufacturing saw a decrease in employment of about 65.19 percent and 50.49 percent respectively. The number of establishments has been steadily increasing in the computer systems design industry from 1998. There has been a 55.39 percent increase in establishments in computer systems design since then. At the same time, the semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing and the metalworking machinery manufacturing industry experienced a 33.02 percent and a 38.74 percent decrease in their number of establishments since 1998. Since 2010, the software publishers saw an increase in the number of establishments, followed by navigational instrument manufacturing. As of 2012, the annual payroll index (adjusted for inflation) for navigational manufacturing was up 120.54 percent, engineering services had increased by 81.21 percent, and software publishers were up by 52.74 percent from 1998. Since 2010, the increase in payroll was significant for navigational instrument manufacturing, followed by computer systems design. However, semiconductor manufacturing saw a decrease of 55.02 percent in annual payroll between 1998 and 2012, followed by metalworking machinery with a decline of 54.13 percent and pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing with a decline in annual payroll of 39.62 percent. For additional data on Industry Indexes, see Appendix Tables A9, A10, and A11.

Aggregate Effects of Investments In order to estimate the effects the 21st Century Fund investments have made on Indiana s economy, we examine these investments in the context of a regional economic model. This model is designed to estimate the effects the investments make on the state s economy, considering the average effect of a gross business investment. In this way, the 21st Century investments can be considered in the short run to have contributed to the state s economy. In the long run, the specific benefits of the investment on productivity, employment, business profitability and other factors should be considered. To model this, we view the expenditures of the 21st Century Fund, SSBCI, and the Indiana High Growth Funds from 2010 through 2014 in a regional model (REMI regional model of Indiana). The results depict the cumulative short run effect of these investments across the state in three areas: employment, gross domestic product and personal income. Results appear in Table 4. We see from these results that these investments have contributed a total of 323 jobs, and increase in GDP of $18 million and growth in personal income of $16 million. State Return on Investment Estimating a rate of return on a public investment is far more challenging than a private investment since the projected benefits are much more varied than private investment returns. Public investment considers impacts to employment, the quality of employment options (such as wages or educational requirements), the impact on overall GDP, tax revenue collections, private or intergovernmental investment, housing investment, etc. Table 4 from the preceding section demonstrates the estimated economic effects of the 21st Century Research and Technology Fund, the Indiana Angel Network Fund, the Indiana High Growth Fund, and SBIR/STTR matching funds from 2010 through 2014. These economic impacts offer the basis for a potential evaluation of the return to investment for Indiana. To make the comparison, we offer several benchmark rates of return for the 2010-2014 period, acknowledging that many of the investments from the 21st Century Fund were made in the final year, and so are far from realizing mature returns. We compare federal funds rates and corporate AAA bond yield over this period. We compare also the Federal Thrift Savings Plan letter fund (C, F, G, I, S), the U.S. Aggregate Bond rate of return, two broad stock indices (the S&P and Dow Jones), along with Morgan Stanley s benchmark EFEA Index. To estimate the return on investment to 21st Century Fund investments we compare two calculations against these benchmarks. The first of these is the estimated state income tax receipts from the earnings reported in Table 4. Using the effective tax rate on wages, which is the total Indiana state income taxes divided by the reported wages in tax year 2012, the mid-point of our estimate. The second is a state ROI Table 4: Economic Effects of Fund Investments Source: Author calculations using REMI Note: Includes fund investments for 21st Century, Angel, SBIR/SBTTR, and IHGF. Employment (cumulative #) 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 76 128 217 253 332 GDP ($) $4 million $7 million $12 million $14 million $18.5 million Personal income ($) $3 million $6 million $10 million $12 million $16 million Table 5: State ROI Estimates and Benchmarks, 2010-2014 Source: Author calculations Rate of Return Comparisons estimate modified from a proposed ROI estimate by Bessette (2003). We modify this format proposing that ROI may be estimated as: ROI = [ (GSP-I) / I ] - 1 Average Annual Returns (Not Compounded) Federal funds 0.33% Corporate yield (AAA Moody s) 0.83% TSP G Fund 2.15% TSP F Fund 4.65% TSP C Fund 13.83% TSP S Fund 16.38% TSP I Fund 6.36% U.S. Aggregate Bond Index 4.38% S&P 500 Index 13.80% DJIA U.S. Index 16.09% EAFA Index (Morgan Stanley) 6.20% 21st Century Indiana PIT 1.32% State output ROI 20.10% Permits a single year ROI estimate for a state, where gross state product (GSP), and total investment (I) are used to estimate the state investment ROI. We label this as State output ROI. Our results appear in Table 5. From these, we estimate that traditional investments in federal funds linked investments will have low rates of return over this period, as did corporate bonds for low risk borrowers. Federal retirement investment funds did better, while stock indices offered the best returns. 10

These options are illustrated to demonstrate the range of riskadjusted returns. For the 21st Century Fund, the personal income tax collections offered returns higher than the traditional low risk investments, while the state output ROI offered a very competitive 20.10 percent per year. We summarize by noting that the benefits of state R&D investments are aimed at several different areas, a circumstance not normally considered in traditional investment. However, measured against these higher irks benchmarks, the 21st Century Fund ROI is competitive, even in the short term. Changes Since 2010 The 21st Century Fund modified its practices slightly after 2010. That year saw a comprehensive review of the 21st Century Fund by Ball State University and the passage of the Federal Small Business Jobs Act in 2010, which paved the way for the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI). One change involved increasing the leverage of private sector funds. The funds disbursed through SSBCI are expected to have a 3:1 leverage ratio (with a desired goal of 10:1) by end of the allocation time period s reporting period (U.S. Department of Treasury 2014). In 2011, IEDC and Elevate Ventures Inc an Indiana 501(c)(3) corporation collaborated under a professional service contract as a part of INVEST Indiana Initiative. In the same year, IEDC and Elevate Ventures created the 21st Century Fund Limited Partnership, which became the sole member of Indiana Angel Network Fund LLC, Indiana High Growth Fund LLC, and Indiana Seed Fund Holdings LLC. The SSBCI funding of $34 million is distributed in three equal tranches to these funds (KPMG Review of Elevate Ventures Business Practices 2013). Elevate Ventures started managing the 21st Century Fund and the SSBCI Funds in 2011. Elevate Ventures follows a due diligent process of accepting and evaluating the applications for both funds on behalf of IEDC. To protect its investment dollars, the fund takes convertible debt or equity instruments from awardees. Elevate Ventures monitors and reviews awardees on an ongoing basis. Elevate Ventures leads/hosts events such as the Venture Capital Investor Event and Innovation Showcase Summary, the Chicago Venture Capital Investor Event, webinars, etc., that help awardees to participate, to expand their network, to get advice on pitches, and to create opportunities for follow-on funding. Conclusions The 21st Century Research and Technology Fund and the Indiana Angel Network Fund have been instrumental in assisting startup firms in Indiana financially for various research and development purposes. The Angel Funds program, initiated in 2012, has seen an increasing trend in the number of awards. The most number of deals has been offered to the information industry and professional, scientific, and technical services by both 21st Century and Angel Funds. Marion County has received about 28 deals. Through economic gardening and entrepreneurial assistance activities, IEDC will be able to expand its award reach to other counties in Indiana. The Department of Defense, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the National Science Foundation funded almost 87 percent of total federal obligation to the state. Academic research has been imperative to the development through research and development. Apparently, the total federal funding to research universities has been increasing since 1995. The increase in R&D activities associates with creation or increasing employment among various industries and from 2012 data we can ascertain that most increase have come from technologically advanced manufacturing, biosciences, and emerging media and information technology sectors. Future Research In our next report, using econometric models, we will evaluate the performance of fund recipients as measured against a control pool of all similar businesses in Indiana. Also, we will conduct a review of policies designed to better integrate the fund s objectives and procedures in the state s economic development efforts. 11
