- Collaborate with world-leading insurance and financial institutions including Progressive Insurance, KeyBank, Huntington, and Fifth Third Bank, as well as industry-disrupting fintech companies including Klarna, Root Insurance, and Alliance Data.
- Get the same results as investments in coastal cities, but with office rents ¼ of the cost of NYC and San Francisco, no state income tax, as well as affordable talent that is 1/3 of the cost of NYC and San Francisco wages. In Ohio, every dollar goes further, resulting in more capital to invest in Research & Development (R&D) and company expansion.

- Benefit from a supportive business and regulatory climate. In August 2018, Ohio demonstrated its commitment to a fintech future by passing legislation that protects firms developing innovative uses for blockchain technology.
