In 2024, Cincinnati startups raised a staggering $250 million, a 117% increase from the previous year. This growth is in part fueled by Cintrifuse Capital’s strategy of direct investment and robust ecosystem support. J.B. Kropp emphasizes the importance of this strategy, noting “It’s the amplification we need in the region to win. We’re activating more entrepreneurs and making critical connections for later-stage funding.” With $72M in outside capital attracted in the last year and much, much more on the way, the future of Cincinnati’s startup scene is brighter than ever.

Meet our latest direct investment: BeyondWill. Estate planning is broken. It's inefficient, impersonal, overwhelming, and fails to fully protect your loved ones when they need it most. BeyondWill is fixing that. While traditional players focus on documents like wills and trusts, BeyondWill believes estate planning is about more than just creating a document—it’s about ensuring that your wishes are honored, your loved ones are protected, and your legacy lives on. BeyondWill simplifies estate planning by blending essential legal documents with personalized life details, making the process more approachable. The process to create a will is simple and personalized, allowing users to complete this crucial task in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. The platform uses intuitive, light-touch interactions to gather information and always-on methods to detect life event updates. When changes occur, Wills are automatically updated. This proactive approach ensures their user's estate plan stays current, so when the time comes, loved ones can access everything they need without hassle or delay, reducing settlement time by months and saving tens of thousands of dollars. BeyondWill turns estate planning into a natural part of your life’s journey, helping people engage in a process that is often overlooked but deeply important.
