After 35 years, the Akron Global Business Accelerator has rebranded itself as Bounce, Akron’s Innovation Hub.
Doug Weintraub is the newly installed CEO.
He’s also a serial entrepreneur and co-founder of the Cleveland venture capital group Jumpstart.
Weintraub has big visions to build a start-up community in Akron.
He takes us on a tour of the soon to be renovated first floor of the former BF Goodrich factory ahead of the facility's first public open house on Friday.
