Kansas City remained No. 11 in the 2023 edition of M25’s annual ranking of Midwest startup cities. Having regionally-focused venture capital firms — like the KCRise Fund, which closed its $34M Fund III this year — separates KC from other cities. startlandnews.com/2023/08/kc-m25…

We’re under way with Back2KC at H&R Block! Back2KC is an annual event reconnecting Kansas City with individuals from the area that live and work elsewhere, highlighting opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment. We’re glad so many Kansas Citians could join!

We couldn’t have done this year’s Back2KC event without our sponsors: H&R Block KCADC Husch Blackwell KC Rising and the KC Civic Council Startland News Spark Coworking - Kansas City Cordish Companies Full Scale CBIZ

For our first presentation, we are featuring Maria Flynn of Digital Health KC, an initiative aimed at supporting existing digital health companies in Kansas City and attracting new digital health businesses to the region. We are thrilled to have Maria kick off our presentations!

Up next, we have a startup panel featuring Free From Market, Sailes, and Rx Savings Solutions all of whom call KC home. We’re eager to hear their views on the KC startup scene and what sets it apart from comparable markets. Thank you to Bryce Navarro of Husch Blackwell for moderating!

For our second panel, we are highlighting the different career opportunities that exist in Kansas City with companies like H&R Block, Vytelle, and Netsmart. You might be surprised to know that Kansas City has a diverse and thriving job market with plenty of opportunity!

And that’s a wrap! We’re grateful for everyone who joined us this year, including our out-of-town attendees, who traveled a combined 15,000 miles to join us this year to be part of this year’s event.
