Retreat Outcomes
Big Theme: Significantly increase number of portfolio companies more aggressively scaling; larger raises and revenue.
Connected sub-themes:• Mature the system; more exits • 4 or 5 Ohio-based $100mm VC Funds• Need a “scaling mindset” among startup community – more
advisors/executive talent that knows how to go from $1M to $25M sales
• “Not pipeline, but potential” – do more to support the folks that are already here
• “Speed to capital” – don’t leave entrepreneurs hanging on for six months or more

Accelerator Catalyst Program
Why• Create access for new
participants• Increase visibility/flexibility• Recognize transience of
accelerator model• Breakout future OTF
accelerator support in one program
Focus• Industry/themed• Support for operations
(versus investments)• Limited OTF commitment
(time and $$)
Accelerator Catalyst (continued)
Structure• 3-year grants, non-renewable
• Operating expenses up to $200,000 per cohort, 1-2 cohorts per year per program, matched 1:1
• Small, non-equity stipends
Eligibility• New applicants
• Current grantees who opt out of their ESP sub-grants* (for 2018 or 2019)
*Note: ESPs may propose to operate an accelerator directly, but as a separate grant/project
Accelerator Catalyst (continued)
• Up to 3 new accelerators funded each year
• New or incremental scope only (no substitution of OTF funds for existing support)
• First cohort(s) second half of 2018
Maximum yearly outlay(assuming five-year program):• Year 1: $0.9M• Year 2: $2.7M• Year 3: $4.5M• Year 4: $3.6M• Year 5: $1.8M
Funding
Coding Bootcamp Support
• Industry is mainly For-profit vs. Nonprofit Organizations

BackgroundPurpose• Accelerate development and commercialization of promising new products (or
adaptations or modifications) in medical devices, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, andhealth technology to address issues associated with the drug crisis driven by use,misuse, abuse and addictive potential of opioids. Projects must provide near-termtangible solutions associated with addiction prevention, treatment and overdoseintervention.
Project Focus• Projects advancing technologies that have already achieved technical proof of concept
and for which there is evidence of interest by a potential end-user
• Products that are already in the market where the objective of the project is to adapt ormodify those products to enable reduction of abuse, addictive potential and morbidityand mortality associated with opioid use.

§ Red indicates a high-level concern versus RFP criteria, yellow designates moderate concern, and green affirms criteria meet expectations of the Program.
§ Major concerns (Red) within a single sub-segment does not necessarily indicate a full failure
• Dependent upon the extent of the concerns generated during the review process
§ Full category finalized as red - proposal will not be recommended for funding
• Based upon the significance of concern in one segment, or
• Resultant of the category segments in summation
