Well, Startup Grind Kansas City is off and running. We hosted our first event on January 17th at the offices of Cremalab. We heard from Tim Barton of Freightquote.com and learned a lot about his journey as an entrepreneur. You can read more about that event here.
Our next event is going to be as killer as the first event as we host and learn from Herb Sih of Think Big Partners. Herb is Founder and Managing Partner of Think Big Partners in Kansas City, Missouri. Herb and his team specialize in incubating, accelerating, and maximizing business ideas, opportunities and entrepreneurs across the United States. Think Big is well known in Kansas City as a catalyst for new ideas, as well as guiding entrepreneurs who are well on their way and need mentorship and support.
Herb will bring a wealth of knowledge to our Kansas City Grinders in the realm of funding, startup acceleration, and growth strategies. Herb’s finance background (Wachovia Securities and Merrill Lynch) and role at Think Big will bring a knowledgeable perspective to the subjects of venture capitalism and startup funding, which is a hot topic in the US and in Kansas City.
If you are grinding it out in KC, please don’t miss this event. If you are representing the Grind community outside of KC, I look forward to sharing our experience with you via video. Have a great week!
