​Donchris Nuwe, CatchApp 
Imagine it's the weekend and you're not sure where to go -- or even if you should go out at all. Wonder what's happening at your favorite club? Interested in checking out some place new? CatchApp helps you catch a glimpse at a participating venue's respective scene. You can even order from a bar before you leave house.​

By founding CatchApp, Donchris not only planted his flag as a founder in the entertainment industry and the tech space, he launched a tool that helps support other entrepreneurs: club owners, musicians, entertainers and artists. 

Donchris' Tips
  • Being customer-focused means focusing on convenience. ​
  • Diversify your revenue streams.​

​Cameron Zona, Access Theatre Project 
The Access Theatre Project is Northeast Ohio's premier pay-what-you-can theater company. How can an organization that lets customers choose how much they are willing to spend be successful (and sustainable)? Easily. With a couple of productions under his belt, Cameron calculated that his patrons end up spending an average of $20/person, in line with set-priced productions in the area.

Cameron didn't begin his studies at Lake Erie as a business student. Rather, he was a theatre major who began to see the connections between the art world and business, which led to his pursuit of entrepreneurship courses. The Access Theatre Project is a great example of combining passion, purpose and productivity to bring a venture to life. 

Cameron's Tips
  • Network -- communicate with others in your industry.
  • Be clear about what you offer.
