A year with Dayton startups

December 29, 2016

It has been a year for the books for the Dayton community. The entrepreneurs of this great city have been working their fingers to the bone getting their businesses off the ground and ready for the next step. They are focused on improving themselves, growing their businesses, and are feeling a shift in the neighborhood to entrepreneurship.
