Founded in 2010, The Brandery was a seed-stage venture capital firm and startup accelerator located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Its mission was to support and fund promising startups, particularly those in the consumer marketing and retail sectors, by leveraging the region's deep expertise in branding and marketing, with strong ties to corporations like Procter & Gamble. The program provided seed funding, mentorship, and a creative workspace in exchange for equity. After a successful run, The Brandery ceased accepting new applications around 2019 and now operates as a program under the gener8tor investment accelerator platform.
