Louisville will run the same model already working in Hive's Indiana colonies: one seat per industry, vetted members, monthly meetings.
Planned area: St. Matthews
The exact venue isn't locked in yet — we'll name it once there's a founding room to meet there. We're watching Louisville, St. Matthews, Middletown, Jeffersontown.
These are chamber and alumni-style communities for social and professional development. Hive is a referral networking group, built to send business between members.
These are open, category-based referral groups. Hive is application-only and vets every member before a seat opens.
When does Hive launch in Louisville?
We're targeting 2027. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out as a founding room starts to form.
Where will it meet?
We're planning around the St. Matthews area. The exact venue isn't finalized yet.
How is Hive different from St. Matthews Young Professionals or YPAL?
Those are social and professional-development communities. Hive is a referral networking group, built specifically to generate business between members.
How is it different from BNI or Louisville Referral Network?
Those groups are open by category. Hive is application-only, monthly, and holds one seat per industry per colony.
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.
Which industries are open?
Nothing is seated yet in Louisville — every industry is open to a founding member.
Can I help start this colony?
Yes — Hive is actively looking for a founding leader in every expansion city. If you want to build the room instead of just joining it, start an application on our Start a Colony page.
Be first in Louisville.
We'll reach out as soon as a founding room starts forming. Want to lead it instead? Start the colony →
