Q: What makes Cincinnati a great place to start a business?
A: It's home to a lot of talented people, a lot of opportunities, and isn't so big you get lost in a web. It's growing fast and has seasoned entrepreneurs that are willing to help the next wave.
Q: How did a grant from Main Street Ventures impact you and your business?
A: [The Main Street Ventures Grant] allowed us to move to the next level with testing & allows us to build a moat that is much needed for an innovative solution like ours.
Q: What’s one piece of advice would you give a young entrepreneur in Greater Cincinnati?
A: To surround yourself with people that know more than you do - always be a sponge and you never know enough.
Q: What’s a recent book, podcast, or news story that you found interesting?
A: The book I'm reading now is "The Everything Store" which depicts Jeff Bezos' journey in creating Amazon which is a great read and I'd recommend it to entrepreneurs of any age.
Q: What's next for EPIPHANY?
