The Story

The University of Cincinnati’s 1819 Venture Lab—in partnership with the Flywheel Social Enterprise Hub—announced it is helping five socially minded startups grow. The first-ever SustainableCincy collaboration between these two startup accelerator programs is expected to drive positive social impact and innovation throughout Greater Cincinnati.

As one of Queen City’s longest-running business accelerators, UC’s Venture Lab is utilizing its business acumen to support environmentally focused companies. For the first time, the eight-week SustainableCincy program, taught at the 1819 Innovation Hub, will offer business coaching, pitch opportunities, and entrepreneurial networking to Flywheel’s newest cohort.

Even though Flywheel focuses entirely on social endeavors, UC’s Venture Lab offers guidance to all kinds of startups. And the two groups have an identical goal with their most recent cohort: crafting a more environmentally responsive region by supporting socially minded ventures.
