Join Us for the Initial Community Offering (ICO)
The work of each founder culminates at the Initial Community Offering (ICO) — an evening that invites the public to witness their growth, celebrate their achievements, and connect with the stories behind each business. This Cohort's ICO will take place on Wednesday, October 30th, 2025 at 6 p.m. at NExus Creative Space.
At ICO, you’ll hear directly from Cohort 6 founders as they pitch their businesses to the community. It’s more than a showcase — it’s an invitation to invest in the future of local entrepreneurship, to meet the people behind the ideas, and to be inspired by what’s next for Northeast OKC.
