Goals/Objectives

When the Funds were initiated, a number of goals were established:

• Create new, desirable jobs in Ohio;

• Attract additional talent to the state;

• Have an impact on the overall economic viability of the region;

• Increase opportunities for collaboration with other funding parties
  (e.g.Ohio TechAngel Fund and North Coast Angel Fund);

• Commercialize technology which might otherwise have been lost;

• Provide mentoring opportunities for Fund members; and

• Return above-average profits to the State and other investors.

The managers of the fund will continue to use these as guidelines as investments are made.
