KC Inno is launching a new bracket-style challenge that puts the spotlight on the Kansas City metro's innovative and fast-growing startups. We're looking for the companies you'd want to invest in.
Nominations are open through Feb. 6. Inno Madness kicks off in March with a bracket of local startups based on your nominations. Each week, we'll post a new bracket and ask you to vote on your favorites. The challenge culminates in announcing our Inno Madness winner, who gains some bragging rights. Our aim is to create awareness and excitement for Kansas City's startup ecosystem and those that are driving it forward.
For nominations, we're asking three key questions about the startup you're suggesting:
- How much funding has the company raised? (We also accept nominees that are bootstrapped)
- In one sentence, why would you invest in this company? (For example: a fast return, they are developing an interesting product or concept, the founders are solving an industry challenge, social impact, etc.)
- Is there anything else you want to share about the company you are nominating?
Submit your nominations here.
