New: Vino Vignettes

Each Vino & Ventures gathering spotlights a local success story, offering insights into their journey, deals, and lessons learned. In this 20–30-minute conversation facilitated by a Vino & Ventures host, you’ll get an inside look at one of the biggest questions we all have: “How’d you do it?”

About Vino & Ventures

Mission: Build community within the Miami Valley venture ecosystem.

Vision: To become the uniter of accomplished investors, seasoned entrepreneurs, and socially conscious ecosystem leaders in the Dayton region.

Values and expectations:

  • Forge genuine connections, not transactions.
  • We are pro-Dayton, pro-existing businesses, and pro-new businesses.
  • There will be no pitching, no soliciting, and no campaigning at our events.
  • Bring your positive energy only.
  • Check your politics at the door.

In this distinguished circle, pitching takes a back seat to forging genuine connections, creating an ideal, no-pressure space for ideas to flourish and relationships to thrive.

Join us in shaping the future, where excellence is not a goal but a collective expectation.
