FOUNDERS STUDIO @ Black Tech Week

July 14 – 16 | 12:00 PM – 9:00 PM Daily

Union Hall, 1311 Vine St, Cincinnati, OH 45202

Hosted by ThinkMODA in partnership with Black Tech Week, JobsOhio, Cintrifuse, FutureLand, Black Men in Tech and More!


Three days. Founders, funders, and the people building the next wave of businesses in Cincinnati and beyond. No filler, no panels for the sake of panels. Real raw conversations, real access, and real community building.

We built this because there's a gap between founders, funders, and knowledge. Founders know there's more tools and resources, they just don't always have the time to access it. Feature Day closes that gap while creating an opportunity for anyone interested in entrepreneurship to plug in and be part of it.

Come co-work. Pitch. Ask hard questions. Hear from founders who are scaling right now and will tell you what actually happens. Find the people who get it from lived experience.


WHAT'S HAPPENING

DAY 1 — CONNECT & DEMO (Monday, July 14)

12–4 PM: Coffee Connection & Office Hours. Show up, co-work, grab coffee, and get face time with ThinkMODA, Future Land, and Black Men in Tech.

4–5 PM: Founder Hub Happy Hour. Wind down before the main event.

5–7 PM: Cintrifuse Demo Night. Founders pitch. Innovations hit the floor.

7–9 PM: Rooftop Social. Food, music, and the kind of networking that doesn't feel like networking.


DAY 2 — FEATURE DAY (Tuesday, July 15)

12–4 PM: Coffee Connection & Office Hours. More co-working, more mentorship, more access.

2–4 PM: Building in the Wild. A live, interactive workshop from ThinkMODA. Build tech solutions in real-time alongside a room full of people doing the same thing.
