Builders is where Ohio State students start things.
ApplyBuilders at Ohio State
You don't need a company to join Builders. You need to be building something, or itching to start. We're a student-run nonprofit that has been bringing Ohio State builders together since 2001, whether they're on their first side project or raising a round.

SF Trip
Startups, up close.
We take a group of members to San Francisco to visit startups, sit in on how they work, and meet Ohio State alumni who moved out there to build. You come back with a notebook of ideas and people who will answer your emails.
Investing
Builders invests up to $200K in Ohio State startups.

What will you build?
Bring the idea you keep coming back to, the project you already started, or just the itch to make something. We will bring the people, the late nights, and the push to finish it.
