#TechColumbus

I think I've posted before on how Central Ohio is rich in Tech-Heavy start-ups.  However, I haven't had my fingers resting on the pulse of that industry as my attention has been scattered about with other things in the Region.

To the point:  TechColumbus reported that 7 new tech ventures in Central Ohio will each receive $50,000 to fund specific projects and spur their growth.  According to the article, these companies will receive the money to advance their product to the point that they can apply for more grants or receive money from investors after showing that these projects are viable. 

This is the best kind of economic development.  Businesses are not being poached from other areas (regionally or otherwise) and real, new ideas are being fostered, which will lead to legitimate added value and eventually, jobs.  It's a good thing.

MailTamer in the Running

We're very excited to have MailTamer selected by TechColumbus as semi-finalists to be this year's Outstanding Product and for Scott Greiff to be Inventor of the Year.  Ria and I have been working very hard to spread the word about MailTamer and it's nice to see some of that effort pay off by being recognized this way.

While at this point we're semi-finalists for the year, our fingers are crossed for MailTamer to take us all the way.
