ScaleUP! Kansas City

October 31, 2024 @ 8:30 am - 12:00 pm

ScaleUP! Kansas City is a selective opportunity for business owners to participate in a multi-week session of class on Thursdays from 8:30-Noon (some classes may differ slightly in time) beginning August 8 – November 21.

An agreement to attend and participate in all sessions is part of the application process.

Cohort members will be chosen and notified by July 29, 2024 at 5:00pm.

ScaleUP! Kansas City is your chance to launch your business to new heights. Through weekly in-depth meetings with expert speakers and curriculum including Kauffman FastTrac Listening to your Business and GrowthWheel as well as others and one-on-one meetings with business counselors, you will find a deeper understanding of every facet of your business.

Scalers from Cohorts 1- 13 have found great success by applying what they learn in this very focused time to work ON their business and not IN their business. Are you ready to take things to the next level? Are you ready to have a partner in your growth for the life of your business?

Required qualifications:

  • At least $250,000 in sales prior year
  • At least 2 employees
  • Owner working on business full time
  • At least 2 years in business

**This cohort is closed and no longer taking applications. You can apply to be a part of the 15th cohort beginning in August 2025 here.

"Joel, I wanted to tell you how much our conversation helped me. Honestly, I was drowning and feeling very much incompetent to handle the work ahead. The things you shared with me changed my outlook. I have heard so many people tell me why it won't work. I know inside myself (selves if you ask my husband) it's going to. It has to. Now I know that if it gets dark again, which I know it will, I have a lifeline and you have no idea what that means as I have been doing this alone. Besides for that, your after work (?) 🧐 was awesome and I am so excited to dig in to them first thing in the morning. Thank you so much again, I look forward to becoming one of the stories of success you can share and helping others find the same thing myself. Have a great evening."
