Cintrifuse is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) partnership that exists to build a sustainable tech-based economy for the Greater Cincinnati region. Our purpose is to advocate for entrepreneurs leading high-growth tech startups– attracting, inspiring, and supporting them on their journey. Through the construction and maintenance of an Active Network of BigCos, universities, investors and startups, we are turning Cincinnati into the premier destination for startups and innovation in the Midwest.

Lightship Accelerator is a 12-week program driving inclusive acceleration, education, and opportunity for minority and female tech founders. We enhance ecosystems nationwide with remarkable, scalable companies traditional investors often overlook.

With residents and partners, LISC forges resilient and inclusive communities of opportunity across America – great places to live, work, visit, do business and raise families.

Main Street Ventures is working to become the community-funded initiative that makes entrepreneurship possible for everyone in Greater Cincinnati, by supporting entrepreneurs with what they need, when they need it: Capital, Connections, and Education. We look to support all good ideas and founders, but with a particular focus on women and minority entrepreneurs who have been historically under-represented in the startup community.

Project Include is an open community working toward providing meaningful diversity and inclusion solutions for tech companies. They have crafted a set of customizable recommendations for you, as CEOs, leaders, and managers, to accelerate diversity and inclusion within your startups.

The Beacon of Hope Business Alliance leads the way for more companies in our region and our country to open jobs for people with criminal records – by sharing proven best practices and access to the ecosystem of resources that supports this effort. More employers and more opportunities are key to creating more productive citizens, more vital family life, stronger communities, and reduced crime. 

Our mission is to facilitate strategic development and services within the Cincinnati community that improve the lives of residents, increase business investment, & revitalize City neighborhoods.
