PDF The Dayton Development Coalition’s Entrepreneurial Signature Program (ESP) is supported by the Ohio Third Frontier and local Dayton Region investors who have raised $22.5 million to grow the Dayton Region’s entrepreneurial talent and spur economic growth.
The Dayton Region ESP assists Dayton Region entrepreneurs through fund investments and development service awards.
