About GCVA

The Greater Cincinnati Venture Association is a forum for bringing together all parties that share a vested interest in building a strong entrepreneurial community. Our activities provide opportunities for members to promote new ventures, participate in ongoing education, network among interested parties on a regular basis, and provide a dedicated medium for communicating issues about entrepreneurship.

The GCVA was organized in 1986 by a group of business leaders to bring together individuals from the public, private, academic, and government sectors interested in developing and expanding new companies.
