About Findlay Launch

Findlay Launch is a food-focused Storefront Accelerator, located in the Findlay Market District of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is the first of its kind in our region, with a specific focus on giving real-time experience to food-related retail and restaurant concepts. This residency-based program provides crucial mentorship, industry connections, a 9-week food retail and restaurant curriculum, and 15 months in a fully built-out, operating storefront.

With an intentional focus on supporting BIPOC-, women-, and immigrant-owned businesses, Findlay Launch aims to build equity and inclusivity in the food industry by launching diverse, supported, and vetted food businesses. Findlay Launch is designed to provide entrepreneurs the space and support to get to their needed proof of concept more quickly or to fail fast.
