You already know success. Get visible and get ready to scale.
Many business owners have difficulty transitioning from running their businesses to focusing on growing their businesses. For four months, ScaleUP! Kansas City will immerse up to 15 entrepreneurs in courses and collisions that will connect them with a high caliber network of peers, resources and mentors and change the trajectory of their businesses.

- Lead a company that has been in business for at least 2 years and have at least 2 employees
- Generate annual sales in excess of $250K
- Have a strong market than can generate more than $1 million in sales
