This is the night to meet the people building what’s next in KC. Whether you’re a first-time founder, investor, curious creative, or longtime supporter of Startland’s mission, this is your chance to experience the city’s startup scene like never before.
The Crawl will begin at Spark Coworking. You must visit Spark to receive your map of the Crawl route and to check-in. Our main stage and (2) additional Crawl stops will round out our route.
You can expect: Dozens of startups across locations Downtown; Live music, activations, and hands-on experiences; and a toast to 10 years of Startland News — featuring a special announcement.
Whether you’ve been with us since day one or just discovered what we’re up to — come crawl with us and celebrate local innovation.
