Claim Cincinnati

Lead Cincinnati.

This takes about twenty minutes and it is long on purpose. If you already run a room, you have these answers in your head. If you do not, this is not the right time — and we would rather you find that out here than in front of a room with our name on it.

What you get if this is you

You are listed and featured as this city’s leader — publicly, on the city page and in the metro newsletter — and you get admin control of the app for your city: every local networking group, every member, every introduction being asked for, in one console. Visibility over the whole local graph that nobody else here has.

Two things we cannot waive

You already run a recurring, in-person room — at least three times, with real people in seats, and you can prove it. And what you put in front of that room is business, tech, or AI, done by someone who actually uses these tools.

Step 1 of 6

The room you already run

This is the qualifier. We do not hand a city to someone who intends to start something — only to someone already standing in front of people. Everything here gets checked.

Which city are you claiming?The metro, as locals would name it.

State

Do you already run a recurring in-person event, room, mastermind, or meetup? *Recurring and in-person. A podcast, a Discord, or a one-time party does not qualify on its own.

Every link you give us gets opened and checked. Applications are read by a person, not scored by a robot and forgotten.

Every room we open is in direct partnership with Best‑Friend.org

Millions of healthy animals are put down simply because shelters run out of room. Best‑Friend.org is the world’s first decentralized nonprofit with a planned ending: it builds the system any community can install to solve shelter overcapacity, then disappears because it is no longer needed. It doesn’t ask anyone for money. Sharing is the donation.

That is what this network is ultimately for. The rooms build the businesses; the attention they earn goes to emptying the shelters.
