What We’ve Done

The principle behind what is now Li.V.E. was a realization back in 2008, 2009 and 2010 that entrepreneurship and risk-taking in America, and particular in Kentucky back then, were not strongly supported.

Yet entrepreneurship and risk-taking are the backbone of what America is historically all about.

We officially incorporated in 2010 and since then we have helped bring in over $6.3M of new, non-local money into Central Kentucky’s ecosystem (where we started) of small businesses, entrepreneurs, innovators, artists and fellow non-profits.

Our foundational belief is that believing in each other, investing in each other and connecting with each other are the keys to the strongest communities possible.
