Four Miami University graduates have been named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 Local 2024 for Cincinnati list.

Connor Paton '23, Finance and Entrepreneurship graduate, Evan Fix '17, Computer Science graduate, and Macallan Hoeweler '24, College of Arts and Science Economics graduate, are co-founders of Noshable, a grocery concierge solution for vacation rentals.

Conceived and launched as part of the Department of Entrepreneurship's senior capstone New Ventures course in 2022, Noshable's technology helps travelers, specifically those staying in short-term rentals, find stores that will deliver groceries and other provisions before they arrive.

Emil Barr '24, Farmer School of Business Economics graduate, is founder and CEO at StepUp Social, a digital agency that empowers brands to reach a wider audience with best-in-class short-form video content.

Launched as a side hustle by Barr in 2021 during his first year at Miami, StepUp Social was one of three Miami student-led startups to win Main Street Ventures' 1st Annual Launch It: Cincy Pitch Competition in late 2021. He was also featured in a recent series about entrepreneurship at Miami University.

Others to make the Cincinnati list include Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase, and the Cincinnati Reds' Elly De La Cruz.

Forbes started its annual “30 under 30” list more than a decade ago but this year branched out to do local versions for major cities in the United States.
