ScaleUP! KC wants ambitious startups to top $1M

Looking to surpass $1 million in revenue?

The immersive, mentor-led business program ScaleUP! Kansas City has opened up applications for its sixth cohort.

“ScaleUP! Kansas City continues to fill a key and vital gap in our entrepreneurial ecosystem,” said Jill Meyer, program director of ScaleUP! KC. “Building a business is hard and lonely work and business owners spend a lot of time working IN their businesses, but rarely have the time or resources to work ON their businesses. ScaleUP! KC gives them that perspective and gives us a chance to provide mentoring and training to these businesses that are so key to our economic growth.”

The four-month program will begin in June 2017 and up to 15 local entrepreneurs will be selected. ScaleUP! companies must have been in business for at least two years, generate annual sales of between $150,000 and $750,000 and must have the potential to reach to $1 million in sales.

Since the program’s launch in 2015, 77 local businesses have gone through the program. Alumni include entrepreneurs in such industries as architecture, software, transportation, fitness, food and more.

The application deadline is May 4. For more information and to apply, click here.
