🇵🇷 GET THE STORY RIGHT

ODP is a small independent startup-focused media and newsletter outlet led by Pauly Suchy and a seasoned cadre of founders, operators, and investors who are building and backing companies in Ohio.

We focus on telling honest stories and, when appropriate, sharing private deal briefings and breaking news with our membership network.

For founder shipping, selling, tasting, testing, scaling, operating.



How startups are assessed

Evaluation is based determined by operating status:

Running Minimum Viable Experiments (research and/or early designs)

Getting Fit (early validation or pilots)

Proving Fits (repeat customers, early revenue)

Growth Scaling (capacity, hiring, capital)

Different stages mean different expectations and exposure.

*Before you apply

If you’re looking for PR, broad visibility, or “coverage,” this probably isn’t a fit.
