Partnerships fuel Ohio's future
The success of local startups and small businesses is dependent on strategic partners who believe in the power of entrepreneurship. Through collaboration, regional entrepreneurial networks can expand, multiplying opportunities and increasing business support resources. We are proud to partner with organizations of all shapes and sizes.
