What does it mean to actually bet on Ohio—not simply out of civic pride, but because the economics make it a compelling place to invest?
This episode of The O.H.I.O. Fund Report features our founding partner Jill Meyer in a conversation originally published on The Working Lunch with Jack Crumley.
Jill shares the thesis behind The O.H.I.O. Fund: bringing private Ohio capital together to invest in growing Ohio companies, real estate, and infrastructure—and helping more of the value created by that growth remain in the state. She also explains why The O.H.I.O. Fund takes a multi-asset approach, why the people behind a business matter as much as the idea itself, and how stronger connections among Ohio’s cities, investors, founders, and operators can compound the state’s economic growth.
The conversation ranges from Ohio 4.0 and the next chapter of the state’s economy to reshoring, advanced manufacturing, AI, and companies like 1872 and Remote Vans. Underneath it all is a simple challenge from Jill: stop apologizing for being in Ohio, recognize the world-class innovation already happening here, and find a way to lean in.
