About this gathering
JobsOhio and Stout Street Capital co-hosted this virtual conference for seed and Series A companies in the Midwest and across the country. Founders shared short video pitches on Thumbraise and connected with investors through the private event network.
The month-long format let investors review company materials at their own pace and contact founders for individual conversations. Two webinars added discussions about venture-firm positioning and intellectual property.
