UC graduate develops in-home physical therapy company
Cincinnati Business Courier highlights Venture Lab-backed startup Band Connect
University of Cincinnati Venture Lab-backed startup Band Connect is nearing a close on its pre-seed round of funding and will start a pilot with the Department of Defense, the Cincinnati Business Courier reported.
