And the winners of Startland’s $3,000 giveaway are …

Startup Crawl

In case you didn’t already know, Kansas City startups are a generous bunch.

Last week, Startland News asked if any area businesses wanted to participate in a giveaway for those attending the Kansas City Startup Crawl. In true startup fashion, our idea for a giveaway came at the last minute — three days before the crawl — which added an extra dash of chaos to the pandemonium that is event preparation.

Expecting a tepid response, we were blown away by entrepreneurs’ enthusiastic benevolence. Startland received a torrent of interest, offering everything from longboards and coffee to Techweek passes and cooking classes.

In total, startups served up more than $3,000 worth of products, services and experiences. We can’t thank you enough, Kansas City startups! And another big thanks to those interested enough to explore the early-stage business community by attending the crawl; we hope you had as much fun as we did!

But getting to the reason why most of you clicked into this story, below is a list of the winners from the random drawing. The winners will be hearing from us in a separate message regarding prize pickup.
