Our 18th and Vine Office was overflowing with entrepreneurs, ecosystem builders, community leaders and elected officials at our open house event on February 27th.

This space is a key part of our KC.UP program, a proactive effort to address gaps in the pathways to entrepreneurial success faced by communities of color.

This office in the historic 18th and Vine district is home to a broad base of programming and serves as a co-working and networking space for entrepreneurs that are building businesses and seeking capital.
