UNMET Ohio 2021

UNMET conferences meet the capital-raising needs of early-stage companies throughout the country, not just on the coasts.

This June, UNMET Ohio 2021 – co-hosted by JobsOhio and Stout Street Capital – will showcase more than 60 of the fastest-growing Seed and Series A startups in the Midwest and around the country. Presenting companies will have the opportunity to pitch their business ideas to more than 200 institutional Venture Capital investors from around the world – and to network with peers.

The conference will be hosted on Thumbraise, a video-pitch platform that enables founders to create brief video pitches – similar to Instagram Stories – about their companies. Founders and investors can then meet one-on-one on a privately hosted network.

Dates: June 22 – July 19, 2021
