IMAGINE A WORLD WHERE:
Everyone has equal access to the opportunity economy.
We serve starters, students and educators to make sure innovators of all kinds have earlier and equal access to entrepreneurial opportunities.
We are all prepared to seize the moment and use our voices.
Our educational programs and community events equip starters of all ages to be inspired and supported as they build something big.
People are connected across the entire community.
We build valuable social capital through our vibrant community of mentors, role models, creative problem solvers and social change makers.
Stories inspire and celebrate innovators and their big ideas.
Our storytelling efforts highlight compelling narratives of startups and small businesses that may otherwise go untold.
WE BELIEVE THAT WORLD IS POSSIBLE
And we’re working to make it a reality right here in Kansas City. Help us expand our efforts in storytelling, skill building and access to social capital for all.
