Cohort four of our Northwest Ohio Impact Program is officially underway! Over the next three months, these five entrepreneurs will be learning and working together with our Northwest Ohio team. The program will culminate in a demo day-style showcase on December 1, where all five will use their new knowledge and skills to pitch to a panel of judges. The grand prize pitch will take home $10,000 while each of the other participants will receive $2,500 to help them grow their businesses.
