Why grow your company in/from Kentucky? I am a proud Louisvillian… born and raised here. I want nothing more than to scale, create lots of jobs and have a positive impact on this community. My goal is to make Louisville a premiere destination to start and grow a business here.
Give us one bold prediction in 2024 for startups, technology or venture capital/fundraising. We are seeing tech be a huge catalyst for growth and investments in other cities in our region. I believe 2024 will be the year Louisville makes itself known as a destination to consider for startups.
