OH.io is transforming Columbus into a true startup technology capital by giving founders what they’ve always needed and rarely received: an embedded, accountable GTM engine that delivers revenue. Backed by Ratmir Timashev and powered by our AI-driven GTM Platform, we partner with B2B SaaS founders who are building great products — and we take responsibility for scaling the revenue behind them. Founders build the company. The GTM Engine scales the sales. That means: • Dedicated, embedded GTM teams • Full accountability for GTM execution • Higher conviction in ICP, messaging, buyers, and channels • Faster, larger, and more predictable sales outcomes • A repeatable engine — not guesswork With a Pod based structure, we have GTM strike units integrated inside the company, working as extensions of the founder’s team. They validate markets, create demand, build pipeline, refine the narrative, and execute with speed and precision. The GTM Hub in Columbus is where all of this converges — a home for founders, operators, investors, and partners building global companies from the Midwest. We don’t observe. We don’t advise. We build the revenue engine with you — and we own the outcomes.

Don’t let collaboration become a security nightmare. Unstructured data from collaboration platforms such as Slack, Teams, and Zoom is the largest and fastest-growing data set across the enterprise.
