HIVE was born in 2024, in a small basement in Indianapolis, from a simple but powerful idea: young professionals need a networking community that truly works for them. A group of ambitious young entrepreneurs, navigating the challenges of building businesses and balancing operational costs, recognized a gap in the local networking scene. Most groups were either too expensive, too crowded with competition, or lacked meaningful connection.

From that modest beginning, HIVE has grown into a thriving community where collaboration and opportunity take center stage. What makes HIVE unique? Each group protects its members’ industries, meaning no two members in the same field join the same circle. This ensures competition is kept at bay and referrals flow freely, creating an environment where trust, growth, and support flourish.

Our mission is simple: to empower young professionals by fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and growth-driven community. We provide opportunities to build meaningful connections, grow businesses, and inspire one another to achieve both personal and professional success. Through trust, innovation, and mutual support, we aim to shape the leaders of tomorrow.

Our vision is to be Indianapolis’ premier networking community for young professionals, a place built on collaboration, integrity, and forward-thinking leadership. Here, members actively connect, share resources, and champion each other’s growth, creating a ripple effect of success across industries and communities.

Our purpose goes beyond networking. We’re building a foundation for leadership and excellence, a community that drives positive change while empowering the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and trailblazers.
