In its third year of operation, hiVelocity will continue to bring you features, company news and innovation and job news from all around the state. Stories people care about.

But going forward, hiVelocity will work even harder to capture and document Ohio's entrepreneurial ecosystem, with the stories of those who are creating companies -- and new jobs -- driving our content.

As part of that new focus, we will be adding a new feature called Founders. Starting with our Oct. 6 issue, these will be profiles of business leaders who have started and grown companies. Using a Q&A format, founders will explain why they formed their companies, what has contributed to their growth and who has helped them along the way.

Our intent is to bring you not just the stories, but the people, who are moving Ohio's new economy ahead in 2011 and beyond.

So, get ready. We are.
