@BlackTechWeek delivered again 🙌🏾 — positive vibes and the insights from the speakers were TRULY next level. Grateful to be part of the movement. @LightshipFound #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #Tech #BTWCincinnati

That's 16,000 dreams we've helped nurture, 16,000 visions we've supported, and 16,000 reasons why this partnership matters. That's the power of collaboration with @candicecincy and the @lightshipfound! @KimmLauterbach @GrowCincyUSA @terry_slaybaugh @JobsOhio

@BlackTechWeek you owe me nothing. Inspiring sessions, informative session, actionable tools to grow and scale, new relationships, and new business opportunities. @candicecincy @BrianBrackeen and the whole @lightshipfound @lightshipcap team thank you! #BlackTechWeek #BTW25

@BlackTechWeek 2025!

The intention of having keynote speakers who are dynamic women is clear at @BlackTechWeek Serena Ava Isa Keke

@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.

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? 👀

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. @AftabPureval @terry_slaybaugh @95baumgartel @GrowCincyUSA @JobsOhio
