The University of Missouri-Kansas City’s Henry W. Bloch School of Management launched a new incubator space Friday. Previously a Country Club Bank location, the facility is located just north of the Plaza Country Club at 4328 Madison St.
Dubbed the Block Venture Hub, the space is set to provide resources for entrepreneurs of any stage. The three-story facility features the EntreLab for idea generation in the basement, a startup incubator on the main floor and a scaleup incubator on the second floor.
The public celebrated the launch via an open house Friday afternoon. To read more about the space, click here.
