Wow!  What a phenomenal week we just finished.

On Monday, we met with President Thomas Chema and other key officials at Hiram College to discuss expanding our joint entrepreneurial efforts.

On Tuesday, the structural steel skeleton of our new $6million center for YBI graduate companies was completed.

On Wednesday, YBI received a very positive “shout out” in the national edition of the Wall Street Journal.

On Thursday, the first leg of our ultra-high speed wireless Internet for external partners was successfully lit up.

And on Friday, thanks to the invitation from Congressman Tim Ryan, we were extremely honored to have House Speaker Nancy Pelosi come to YBI for a tour of our facilities and for discussions with the CEOs of three of our portfolio firms. And would it be immodest of us to say that Speaker Pelosi called the Youngstown Business Incubator “the model for the nation” at her press conference afterward?

Nice.
