The Ohio Venture Report & All-Star Awards is a premier startup and venture capital event taking place on April 9, 2026, at the historic Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio. The event brings together more than 200 founders, investors, and innovation leaders to celebrate the growth of Ohio’s startup ecosystem while sharing insights from the annual Ohio Venture Report. Attendees will hear highlights from the state’s venture activity—including hundreds of startup deals and billions raised in recent years—along with All-Star CEO talks and awards recognizing standout startups and leaders. The evening also features a networking reception designed to connect entrepreneurs, venture capital firms, and ecosystem partners working to advance innovation across Ohio.
Landi Industries has proudly attended the Ohio Venture Report & All-Star Awards since the event’s early years, supporting the continued growth of Ohio’s startup and venture capital ecosystem. The insights and data shared through the Ohio Venture Report provide valuable perspective not only for founders and investors within Ohio, but also for innovation leaders across neighboring Midwest states. As venture ecosystems across the region become increasingly connected, the report serves as an important resource for understanding funding trends, emerging companies, and collaboration opportunities that extend well beyond Ohio’s borders.
