Welcome to the Business Hop 10.0 in Cleveland!

At its core, the Midwest is built on a spirit of generosity, mentorship, and lifting one another up. This March 31st, 2026, The Business Hop is coming back to Cleveland for the second time bringing together 75 of the area's top mentors and 150 of the most promising mentees for a high-caliber evening of connections, mentorship and impact.

Our Last Events: The Louisville Business Hop in January was held at the Solyco Capital office on Whiskey Row and featured over 200 amazing leaders across the area with incredible keynote speakers like Joey Wagner of the J Wagner Group, Sr. Partner & Managing Member of Solyco Capital, Sara Blackmer and COO of Lynn Family Vision & Training, Mark Lynn. February, back where it all began in Columbus, partnering with JobsOhio and Allied Capital and Development at the elite Ivory Room at 2 Miranova Place overlooking the beautiful downtown skyline.

Our Next Event: For our 10th edition, we are bringing it back to the land of Rock & Roll, Cleveland, Ohio at the MidTown Collaboration Center in partnership with the Cleveland Foundation.
