Why this matters

Over $200B AUM
on one boat.

Two years in the making. When Shanna Greathouse and I started Ohio Startup Network, we had one mission with two motions: raise the profile of Ohio as a developing tech hub — by doing the ecosystem work required to raise the caliber of deals coming from the region, and driving interest and action from coastal capital into the Heartland.

Look at us now. 100+ firms from across the world. Half have already cut checks into Heartland startups. The other half are curious and interested. A slate of all-star deals featured, courtesy of The Ohio Venture Pipeline.

The Heartland is the proving ground for the hottest issues of AI and American Dynamism — where the success of reindustrialization and American economic competitiveness will ultimately be decided.

Where your donation goes

Fueling the ecosystem
that built this room.

100% of donations support Ohio Startup Network's nonprofit programming — the unglamorous, structural work that turns deal flow into a durable capital pipeline.

Ecosystem Infrastructure

Convenings, deal-flow programming, and the Ohio Venture Pipeline — the connective tissue that makes Heartland deals legible to coastal capital.

Founder Access

Open-door programming for Heartland founders — diligence prep, allocator introductions, and the relationships that move term sheets forward.

Profile & Visibility

Raising the profile of Ohio as a developing tech hub — content, storytelling, and earned media that reframe how the world sees the Heartland.

A gift, not a ticket

If the work moved you,
move it forward.

Any amount supports Ohio Startup Network's mission — Heartland founders, capital allocators, and the proving ground of American Dynamism.
