Event Details


Our second event of the year! You don't want to miss it. The theme is LogoFest, which means you are supposed to show up in your company's logo attire. We are trying to keep suits to a minimum....and if you do show up in a suit, we will have some great Forge shirts for you to wear!

Our speaker will be Mike Bott, the General Manager of The Brandery in Cincinnati, OH. Similar to Techstars or YCombinator, the Brandery is a startup accelerator program. 

Keepio, a local startup run by Dave Durand, went through the program and just recently another a local startup got word they are in! 

Mike will be speaking about how to build a startup community and what Cincinnati and the Brandery have done right and what they have done wrong.

As always, we will have free beer (courtesy of Falls City), light snacks, DJ, and food trucks on hand. 

This is an event you don't want to miss!

Where: Salvo Collective
216 South Shelby Street
Louisville, KY 40202

When: May 23rd, Wednesday
5:30-7:30 p.m.

Forge is a community for innovators.

We realize that entrepeneurial communities in the US are too ambigious to outsiders or too disparate for those inside operating in silos. 

Forge is an attempt to correct both of these issues by acting a central hub to turn to for local entrepreneurial news and information, but also as a collaborative environment to bring together all the stakeholders.

Forge targets: entrepreneurs, financiers, vendors (such as lawyers and accountants), students, and anyone else that has a desire to create change.

Our goal is to:

  • Facilitate collaboration online and offline
  • Provide inspiring content and be a mouthpiece for our community
  • Act as a vehicle for our members to forge transformative ideas or innovations
