We at KCSourceLink keep a close eye on Kansas City’s entrepreneurial infrastructure and ecosystem, identifying what entrepreneurs need, where we can build collaborations to fill gaps and how we’re progressing toward becoming America’s most entrepreneurial city.

Because we know that what gets measured get prioritized—and entrepreneurs are our priority. That’s why we take the time to map and quantify our efforts, measure our impact and share the story of the good work happening in the KCSourceLink network, right here, in the center of the country and in the heartland of entrepreneurship.
