Businesses in attendance include Startup Grind Dayton, The Entrepreneur Center, Downtown Dayton Partnership, Co-op Dayton, The ONEIL Center and the Minority Business Partnership at the Dayton Chamber of Commerce.
“The Gem City Entrepreneur Resource Fair was created to carve out an opportunity and space for those who have the resources and those who need the resources to connect under one roof,” said KeAnna Daniels, fair’s founder and organizer.
The fair is the kickoff to the Dayton Techstars Startup Week that continues next week. It is weeklong conference with businesses, guest speakers, guides and successful entrepreneurial.
Investors and potential business partners will be in attendance.
“We want to change the narrative that entrepreneurial and business resources don’t exist,” Daniels said. “The reality is that they do and they and they are in abundance.”
The Dayton Young Black Professionals group will be collecting tornado damage donations and will be distributed in the heavily affected areas.
They encourage people to bring water, gently used clothes, under clothes, toiletries, nonperishable foods and anything else the volunteer believes is needed.
The fair is from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Central State University—Dayton on Germantown Street. Register at Eventbrite.
