Startland Annual Event

Startup Crawl

Startup-Crawl-2024-Scrawl24-04

Imagine a night where dozens of startups throw open their doors, inviting you to experience firsthand the creativity, energy, and breakthrough ideas shaping the future of Kansas City’s innovation ecosystem. That’s Startup Crawl.

Startland News hosts the ultimate startup open house every year in August or September. Kansas City's entrepreneur community takes over the Power & Light District, with multiple locations, food trucks, live music and more.

Whether you’re looking to boost your brand’s visibility, engage directly with the city’s leading startup founders, or create unforgettable experiences that resonate long after the Crawl, we have a sponsorship level designed to meet your goals.
