Cincinnati will submit a bid Feb. 15 in an effort to land Venture For America’s fifth iteration of its residential accelerator.

The 2011-born entity, founded by entrepreneur Andrew Yang, is a two-year program that looks to connect recent college graduates with startups in high-growth cities around the country.

Its accelerator component was created to provide its participants, or fellows, with the “time, space and support they need to turn their side projects into full-time ventures by the completion of the four-month program.”
