It's All about You: Kansas City's Entrepreneurial City Report
Artists and innovators, bakers and makers, startups and spinoffs--you are the reason Kansas City is an awesome place to live, work, eat and play--and on Aug. 21, we're going to celebrate it.
If you have a startup, have an idea that could be one, have a business that has survived and thrived, if you work with entrepreneurs or just love knowing what they are up to, join us at 4 p.m. on Aug. 21 at Union Station when we unveil and launch Kansas City's first
Entrepreneurial City Report.
(Hang out after
iKC: The Unconference or jump in before you head to the
Silicon Prairie Awards, the big reveal is free. Just let us know you're coming
here. Psst, we have t-shirts!)
What is the Entrepreneurial City Report?
As part of KCSourceLink’s EDA grant and the Big 5 initiative, we’re using this report to celebrate entrepreneurs like you who create jobs, businesses and our city’s character.
This is our first annual report on entrepreneurship and from here, it will help KC benchmark our entrepreneurial ecosystem across the six imperatives and track our progress toward become America's most entrepreneurial city.
Why should you go?
Because we're celebrating you, and we just hate talking behind your back. (But we will.)
We'll also talk about Kansas City's progress toward becoming America's most entrepreneurial city and what we need to do next to claim that title. From entrepreneurial resources to idea pipeline to talent pool to telling our story to capital to corporate engagement, we've done a lot of good work to advance entrepreneurship in Kansas City, but we still have more to do.
How can you be a part of the e-city report?
Well now, you'll just have to come on
Aug. 21 to find out, won't you?
How can you let people know?
