About Us
We tip the scales in favor of brilliant, hard-working folks looking to create and grow businesses in Northern Kentucky. We serve as the “thread” for the regional ecosystem by building a close-knit community that provides entrepreneurs with outsized connectivity to mission-critical resources and reduced barriers to opportunity.
Programs & Events
There are plenty of tech accelerators, incubators, and VC funds: there’s only one Northern Kentucky. We’re the Southern part of the Greater Cincinnati region where Midwestern hustle meets Southern hospitality and unbridled grit. We’re a place where the roll-up-your-sleeves, chip-on-your-shoulder kind of ideas find the opportunity to make their mark.
Our people are here to connect your idea to the resources and region that will help make it happen.
