This past Wednesday, Kansas City hosted iKC, a premier conference on innovation and entrepreneurship. Kansas City is the hotspot for tech startups and entrepreneurial opportunities. Twentyseven Global is honored to be part of this outstanding community. Here is a brief recap for those of you who could not attend the event by Think BIG Partners.
iKC Answers KC’s Question: How Do You Build a Startup in the Midwest?
Tom Boozer (UMKC), moderator of the panel, started the session by asking the following question: What makes us different than Boston’s tech hub?
And what about Silicon Valley?
What about Austin?
These three cities have truly utilized their growing tech and entrepreneur scenes and have become brands. Can Kansas City, the Midwest (or in an entrepreneurial scene, Silicon Prairie) do this as well? Can our geographical location become a brand as well?
