DeAloia writes, “While my Tech Czar Talk column is ending today, I will still be around Cleveland. I have a West Side media startup that needs my attention. And now that I am Entrepreneur in Residence for the City of Lakewood, I have a treasured civic engagement that I hope to grow into something special.
“The past four years have brought a lot of happiness into my life. And Cleveland (not to mention the region) has seen a national reawakening. I would like to think these happenings are linked or correlated. To discover and write about all the tech happenings in Cleveland, and Northeast Ohio, for the Plain Dealer has been one of the truly inspiring and defining moments in my career.

My biggest frustration, especially in the early days of the column, was to get entrepreneurs to disclose the full amount of their investment received and at what valuation.
