StrateSphere Acquires Venture Highway
Gahanna, OH (PRWEB) May 18, 2016 -- StrateSphere, a Gahanna, Ohio based company that specializes in empowering the next generation of professionals in emerging economies through the design and implementation of complex, fit-for-purpose public private partnerships (P3) around education, innovation, and economic transformation, has acquired Venture Highway. Venture Highway is a Columbus, Ohio based company that offers an integrated learning system for teaching entrepreneurship and had been a part of the NCT Venture portfolio of investments.
The Venture Highway platform includes course management tools and resources, student tools and resources, and a series of entrepreneurship courses with content written by Dr. Sharon Alvarez, Dr. Michael Camp, and Dr. Manuel Serapio. The platform has been used across the United States and Canada at prominent schools such as The Ohio State University, the University of Calgary, and Miami Dade College.
