Good morning, Hamilton County. The tech landscape in Cincinnati just got a $2.5 million boost as local startup CommercializeIQ prepares to revolutionize commercial real estate data. Founded by proptech veteran Alex Taylor, this AI-powered platform aims to replace outdated spreadsheets with real-time analytics when it launches next month—potentially setting the stage for what Taylor envisions as Cincinnati's largest proptech exit within six years.
While innovation shapes our future, we're also honoring those who built our present. March saw the passing of four remarkable community pillars—Gwen Robinson, Tom Cody, Jim Votruba, and Francie Pepper—whose combined legacies of service transformed Cincinnati through leadership in education, business, and social justice. As we reflect on their contributions, residents should also stay vigilant with weather warnings issued for Thursday, keeping connected to official channels for updates as conditions develop.

🏢 Cincinnati startup raises $2.5 million to revolutionize real estate data. CommercializeIQ, founded by proptech veteran Alex Taylor, aims to streamline how commercial real estate professionals collect, aggregate, and share property information. The AI-powered platform provides real-time data collection and predictive analytics, replacing outdated Excel spreadsheets and monthly reports with a centralized system. With seven core team members and beta testing underway, Taylor plans a mid-May launch targeting property owner-operators managing 10+ properties. His ambitious goal: achieve Cincinnati's largest proptech exit—in the nine-figure range—within six years.
🕊️ Four Cincinnati giants leave a legacy of transformative leadership. Gwen Robinson, Tom Cody, Jim Votruba, and Francie Pepper—community pillars who passed away in March—shaped Cincinnati through their unwavering commitment to service. Robinson devoted her life to strengthening families through Community Action Agency and Head Start, while Cody championed business and philanthropy across multiple influential boards. Votruba elevated Northern Kentucky University as its president and fostered regional collaboration, and Pepper became a fierce advocate for justice through her work with the YWCA. Their combined legacy of service, humility, and leadership continues to inspire the Cincinnati community they helped build.

⚾ Baseball Scoreboard
The Turpin Spartans kept their perfect season intact with a 14-2 dismantling of Walnut Hills, improving to 4-0 while making the Eagles' feathers ruffle. With the Spartans set to face undefeated Batavia next, something's gotta give when these unblemished records collide.In a slugfest that would make cardiologists nervous, Madeira edged Mariemont 14-13 in a game where the scoreboard operator earned overtime pay. The MUSTANGS/AMAZONS (yes, that's their actual name) improved to 4-2 while the Warriors fell to 1-2, proving that in Cincinnati Hills baseball, defense is clearly optional.Summit Country Day delivered a 17-0 beatdown to Purcell Marian in what can only be described as baseball's version of a restraining order. In a scheduling quirk that borders on cruel and unusual punishment, these same teams face off again tomorrow—perhaps Purcell should consider calling in sick.
