Capital Connections at the Optimize 2022 conference is where investors and entrepreneurs have the opportunity to connect and meet.  As the world leading aging innovation discovery group, Aging2.0 is assembling world class investors and innovators in Louisville, KY during the Optimize 2022 conference.  Investors will have the opportunity to meet other investors who are helping to grow amazing companies that provide tremendous financial opportunities, but also have a major societal impact.  This will help promote the syndication of investments between these various investors.  Innovations are becoming more important every day as the aging population requires more and more resources.  Capital Connections will also connect investors with innovators who are directly addressing the challenges associated with our aging population.  

Founded in 2012 by Katy Fike and Stephen Johnston, Aging2.0 strives to accelerate innovation to address the biggest challenges and opportunities in aging. Aging2.0’s international, interdisciplinary and intergenerational community has grown to 40k+ innovators across 31 countries. Aging2.0 was acquired by CEOc (formerly Louisville Healthcare CEO Council) in 2022 moving the headquarters from San Francisco, CA to Louisville, KY. This acquisition is exciting as it broadens the resources, network, and engagement.

Our volunteer-run chapter network, which spans over 130 cities, has hosted more than 1,000+ events around the world.

The Sheltowee Christian Entrepreneurs is a Community Portal that provides resources and information for Christian entrepreneurs.  In Timoty 3:14 it says: "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived".  We see this more and more each day.  So many individuals and organizations are telling us that our belief in our Saviour and moral framework is flawed.  These voices are becoming louder and more militant.  This Community is here to provide resources, inspiration and help for Christian brothers and sisters who have chosen to walk the entrepreneurial path.  

We invite all Christian brothers and sisters to join us in our efforts to help entrepreneurs build their businesses.  We will work together to build businesses that help humanity, and reflect the love of Christ at the same time.  The Sheltowee Christian Entrepreneurs Community Portal is supported by Sheltowee LLC.  

Romans 12:6-8 "We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully."

The Kentucky Community Portal is maintained by Accelerate KY.  The Community Portals are designed to help promote an entrepreneurial ecosystem across the Commonwealth.  With the Community portals, each community is able to establish their only portal where entrepreneurs, investors and entrepreneur support organizations can connect and share information and ideas.  Please help us by participating.  The Kentucky Community Portal is our top level portal with assets and resources from across the state. You can visit our other communities to learn what resources are available in those specific communities. 

The Prayer Warriors Monday Morning Community was founded by Roger Griggs and Steve Campbell.  The group has a call each Monday morning at 7:00 AM Eastern Time.  We dedicate our first efforts of the new week to encourage one another, please the Lord and make Satan angry.  Below is a prayer for you:

Father God, walk beside me as I endure the challenges of today. Give me the strength I need to challenge the week ahead. May I walk in faith and in Your strength. Send Your
angels to guard over me throughout this week, as You lead me into my divine purpose.Bless all that I lay my hands upon. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray,
Amen
