PRIVATE COMPANIES

Private companies are much harder to research than public companies because they are not required to tell the public anything about their earnings, finances, acquisitions, officer salaries, or other matters that public companies must reveal.
Some research tools cover public companies only. These may mention investment somewhere in their title or description. An example would be Standard & Poor's Stock Reports.
Other sources cover both. An example would be the Million Dollar Database.

Calendar

Cleveland's biweekly business journal publishes regular listings of events that may interest local businesses.

COSE-Sponsored Events

The Council of Smaller Enterprises sponsors many events all over Northeastern Ohio, many of which are free or quite nominal in cost. If you click on "Events" in the left-hand menu of their website, and then choose the category "All Categories" from the pull-down category menu, you can get their complete calendar.

CBC:  Cleveland Business Connects

This online magazine emphasizes networking opportunities and events in the greater Cleveland area.  Many of the events are fun or cultural opportunities, as opposed to strictly business.
