Discover how a Columbus startup skyrocketed to $50K per month in record time

Columbus entrepreneur Jake Morrison, 34, has rapidly transformed Ohio’s manufacturing tech scene by bootstrapping his startup from scratch.

Just six months ago, Jake had no investors and zero revenue.

Today, his software for real-time inventory tracking brings in $50,000 a month from more than 500 Ohio manufacturing clients.

After ten years in corporate IT, Jake quit to launch an easy, subscription-based solution for local manufacturers.

He acted fast, building a minimum viable product and personally contacting 50 potential customers each week.

No ads or social media — just calls, demos, and authentic problem-solving.

Within weeks, early adopters validated both his concept and pricing model.

Jake’s results: three Ohio-based jobs created, less than 5% customer churn, and no outside funding accepted.

His story shows it’s possible to succeed by launching quickly, focusing local, and solving real problems through direct customer engagement.
