​Built here. Celebrated here.

​Join us for the first-ever StartupCincy Awards, a night dedicated to celebrating the founders, startups, small businesses, and ecosystem leaders shaping Greater Cincinnati’s entrepreneurial future. This event kicks off StartupCincy’s 10th anniversary, honoring a decade of work and the people behind it.

​From breakthrough technology to neighborhood impact, from first-time founders to longtime community builders, the StartupCincy Awards reflect the full spectrum of entrepreneurship across our region. This isn’t just about who raised the most money or moved the fastest. It’s about who built something meaningful and helped move the ecosystem forward.

​One night. A decade in the making. Let’s celebrate what we’ve built, together.

​Know someone building something incredible in Cincy? Show us.
