Join us in doing work that matters.

Communities are built by starters — innovators, creators, and entrepreneurs — but this opportunity is not available to everyone. Startland makes innovation accessible and approachable to all — unlocking the potential of individuals to innovate, create,  and lead prosperous communities.

Startland currently serves entrepreneurs, students and educators and works with them to build and inspire a cultures of innovation in schools and communities at large — equipping learners with and exposing curious citizens to the value and principles of an entrepreneurial mindset.

We believe entrepreneurship is a tool for economic development in our communities and a vehicle for the rise of individual advancement and culturally robust communities. Our work has empowered and inspired thousands of entrepreneurs and hundreds of schools. It has equipped staff and students with skills that come only from authentic learning experiences. We believe the work of Startland will close the opportunity gap in Kansas City, and beyond.

Our three core values — authenticity, community, and impact — are present in everything we do.
