This is Lindsay Karas Stencel’s annual talk on The State of Venture in Ohio ™.

For the 5th year in a row, Lindsay will walk attendees through the status of VC funding in Ohio, discussing new venture fund formation, large exits, and investments and places where the state can continue to develop and grow. She will weave in some pop culture references, leave plenty of time for Q&A, and definitely keep the FUN in FUND.
