June Monthly Luncheon - How SparkHaus Will Ignite Covington's Startup Community

June 26, 2025 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Description



Something special is coming to the corner of Madison Avenue and 8th St. In early August, the historic Montgomery Ward department store will come back to life as SparkHaus, Northern Kentucky’s new entrepreneurship hub.  SparkHaus is the result of a partnership between Kenton County, the Northern Kentucky Port Authority and Blue North to give Northern Kentucky’s entrepreneurs a one-stop shop where they can access the resources they need to create our next community-changing company.  In this panel discussion, Blue North Executive Director Dave Knox will sit down with several of the most prominent SparkHaus community members. They will discuss how transforming a historic Covington landmark into the region’s hub for entrepreneurship will cement Covington’s role as a driving force in the Tri-State’s innovation economy. 


Panel: 


Dave Knox is an investor, startup advisor, and executive coach who bridges the worlds between brand marketing, digital, and entrepreneurship.  Dave is the Executive Director of Blue North, the KY Innovation Hub for Northern Kentucky.  Dave has been named a Cincinnati Marketing Legend by the AMA, Mentor of the Year by the Kentucky Entrepreneur Hall of Fame, and CMO of the Year in the Business Courier C-Suite Awards.



Isaac Hamlin, a Northern Kentucky native, is the Founder and CEO of Better Blend, a fast-growing health-focused brand known for its innovative approach to smoothies and smoothie bowls. Since launching in 2018, he has led the company’s expansion across multiple cities with a mission to make healthy eating more accessible and crave-worthy.



Kevin Gusweiler is a Greater Cincinnati native and helped launch eGateway Capital in 2021. eGateway is a growth-stage investor focused on backing teams and companies innovating in commerce. eGateway is a proud anchor tenant in Sparkhaus and excited for the natural collisions that will occur daily.
