HUSTLE Dayton's Most Action-Oriented Networking for Ambitious Founders & Entrepreneurs

Your next co-founder. Your first investor. Your biggest client.

They could all be at this event.

If you're building a business — or ready to start one — HUSTLE Dayton, Ohio is where high-energy entrepreneurs connect, collaborate, and create real opportunities. No fluff. No awkward small talk. Just meaningful connections that move the needle.

Whether you're launching a startup, scaling a side hustle, or raising your first round, this is your chance to meet mentors, investors, future team members, and fellow go-getters who can help you accelerate faster.

Why You Should Come:

• Meet founders, freelancers, and innovators who are doing the work — not just talking about it
• Share ideas, get feedback on your MVP, or find your next business partner
• Discover investor leads, pilot customers, or early adopters for your product
• Walk away with 3–5 valuable new connections (we make sure you actually talk to people)

Perfect For:

Startup founders | Aspiring entrepreneurs | Solopreneurs | Side-hustlers | Freelancers | Investors | Innovators

This is NOT your average "handshake and hope" networking event.

We keep it fast-paced, inclusive, and founder-focused — with structured mingling to help you actually meet the right people.

It's FREE to attend — but space is limited and there is the expectation you buy a full priced drink at the bar.

About the venue: A large gastropub rated 4.3 from more than 2,500 reviews, mid-priced, open until midnight Monday to Thursday. Reviewers consistently describe it as unusually spacious for a downtown venue, with a patio and fire pit, and a popular spot to gather before a show — so it has the room and the habit of handling groups.

Getting there: The venue is on Wayne Avenue in downtown Dayton. There is no rail transit, so arrival is by car or rideshare. An AirGarage lot at 602 East 4th Street is a minute away and open 24 hours — but note the venue does not own its parking, and reviewers report both AirGarage citations for signage and plate errors, and a roughly $10 app charge. Pay carefully through the app and check the plate.
