Breakfast event for Second Stage Entrepreneurs

Access to capital is a critical component of business growth, but venture capital is only one of many funding options available to entrepreneurs. Join Jeffrey Stern of the OHIO Fund for a discussion on the capital landscape for second-stage companies, including an overview of the OHIO Fund and the various ways it supports Ohio businesses.
This session will explore different pathways to funding, considerations for choosing the right capital strategy, and resources available to help companies grow. Whether you are actively seeking investment or simply looking to better understand your options, you'll gain practical insights and have the opportunity to engage directly with an experienced capital provider.
