NEXTOhio is a one night startup conference in Akron where startup enthusiasts come together to celebrate what’s next for startups in Ohio. Last year we saw over 300 people including founders, investors, and support organizations come together to learn how to build better companies, raise capital, and meet influential people in the local startup community. This year our goal is to be even bigger!

We’ve pulled together an impressive lineup of speakers from successful founders, to investors, and those who’ve helped shape the startup ecosystem in Ohio.

We’re hosting a pitch critique to give everyone a better idea of what investors look for. You will hear pitches from three startups, as well as feedback from our panel of investors. This is a unique behind the scenes look at the how investors critique a pitch, and a great opportunity to learn what investors look for.

Finally, we’ll have a lengthy networking session with food, an awesome local DJ, and cash bar.
