@BlackTechWeek 2025 was special last week! 7,000 people came to Cincy to share in community and culture. Had a blast on stage w/ @TWStarr and @SashaMac17 talking all things diligence in both early stage and later stage investments.

[Brandon Johnson @bj0hn5on]

At @BlackTechWeek, DJ and I took center-stage to deliver a session on “Winning in the AI Race.”

I’m grateful for Black Tech Week for creating space for authentic stories and Black cultural leaders. Where should I speak next? 👀

[JP Nauseef @nauseef]

The energy at @blacktechweek is proof that Ohio continues to be a destination for diverse tech talent and innovative businesses.

Since 2017, @lightshipfound has guided over 200 companies led by women, founders of color, and diverse entrepreneurs to more than $400 million in venture funding nationwide.

Thanks to @candicecincy and her team's leadership, thousands of founders have found their path to success, and Ohio has become a more inclusive, innovative, and dynamic place to do business.
