Built in Ohio
Welcome to Built in Ohio - an Ohio tech podcast. We talk with, and about, the people, companies and ideas building the future. From startup founders building the next unicorn to someone leading innovation at a Fortune 500 company. Experts in emerging technologies or people creating the cities of the tomorrow. In each episode we talk with innovators and creators to learn what they're working on and how they're doing it. The one thing they all have one thing in common is they're building in Ohio. Built in Ohio is brought to you by OhioX - a statewide nonprofit working to build Ohio into a tech hub.
