Cintrifuse Information

Cintrifuse is dedicated to Supporting Startups, Igniting Innovation, Attracting Investment, and Catalyzing our Thriving Ecosystem to make Greater Cincinnati the #1 startup hub in the Midwest and a Top Innovation Center in the Country. We like to consider ourselves a force for collaborative innovation. Cintrifuse made up of people, funds, and ideas all dedicated to establishing a stronger tech presence that will ultimately improve the economy for the Greater Cincinnati area. We are a public-private partnership established to drive the next phase of growth for the region – innovation that will be enabled and delivered by startups. Why do we do this? A tech-focused economy is a self-sustaining ecosystem that continuously attracts talent, creates jobs and investment opportunities, which eventually leads to one solution, that leads to the next, and then the next. Greater Cincinnati is primed for this, as we are the home of hundreds of global corporations who depend on innovation to solve their biggest problems, yet, are often too large to be agile. This may be unlike our tech-based startups who have talent and agility, but often lack the funding to see their solutions through or, if they do, the ability to reach potential customers. Not to mention, Cincinnati has several Universities with valuable knowledge and research at their fingertips. All of these entities are all close, but seldom, if ever, collaborating. And with investors waiting to invest wisely across the country, we have all the makings for a thriving tech-based economy – just waiting for something to help set it into motion. That’s where we come in. We believe collaboration is essential to innovation and breaking down walls is the best way to have breakthrough ideas, so we facilitate it in every way possible.
