Our guest today is my good friend, Tim Metzner. Tim is a serial entrepreneur - one of a small handful of incredibly prolific and wise faith-filled entrepreneurs I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside in our community.
Tim’s fingerprints are all over the midwest entrepreneurial ecosystem. He helped launch Astronomer, Cincinnati's first unicorn (out of Cincinnati's first Venture Studio, Differential), co-founded a faith-based, and the longest-running startup accelerator in our region, OCEAN, and one of the region's best-funded and fastest-growing startups, Coterie Insurance. He is currently raising capital for Fireroad Ventures Fund I and actively hunting for great small businesses to acquire in the home services space.
He has been in and around startups his entire career as a founder, investor, mentor, teacher, and coach. He’d say he’s been blessed to get to do work that he loves with amazing humans who make him better.
Tim wholeheartedly believes that entrepreneurs can change the world by creating great jobs and culture. This belief has been a driving force behind his own entrepreneurial endeavors as well as the non-profit that I helped to start, OCEAN Programs.
