Cincinnati will run the same model already working in Hive's Indiana colonies: one seat per industry, vetted members, monthly meetings.
Planned area: Mason / Blue Ash
The exact venue isn't locked in yet — we'll name it once there's a founding room to meet there. We're watching Cincinnati, Mason, Blue Ash, West Chester, Hyde Park.
Both are open, weekly or recurring referral groups. Hive is monthly, application-only, and vets every member before a seat opens.
These are chamber-affiliated professional-development communities, not referral groups. Hive is built specifically to generate business between members.
When does Hive launch in Cincinnati?
We're targeting 2027. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out as a founding room starts to form.
Mason, Blue Ash or downtown?
We're planning around the Mason and Blue Ash area. The exact venue isn't finalized yet.
How does Hive compare with BNI Mason / Blue Ash or H7?
Those groups meet weekly or recurring and are open by category. Hive meets monthly, is application-only, and holds one seat per industry per colony.
Is Hive a Cincinnati young professionals group?
Not in the chamber sense. Cincinnati's YP groups focus on professional development and social connection. Hive is a referral networking group built to send business between members.
How much does it cost?
The same as every Hive colony: $600 a year once accepted, or $700 a year if you'd rather split it into monthly payments.
Can I start the Cincinnati colony?
Yes — we're looking for a founding leader. Start an application on our Start a Colony page.
Be first in Cincinnati.
We'll reach out as soon as a founding room starts forming. Want to lead it instead? Start the colony →
