Startup Wichita

In the recent past, a growing number of people have become interested in drawing more attention to the new entrepreneurial movement in Wichita. Software, SaaS, Apps for all platforms, new products, and innovative new ideas are being developed all around Wichita, but the community connecting these groups is in need of nurture. Since organizing my first Startup Weekend last year, and the two since then, I've noticed that the overlap between MakeICT and the "Startup Wichita" is evident, and the people who learn about one are interested in the other. At this point, Startup Wichita is not an entity. While there are multiple efforts and programs surrounding the ideas that Startup Wichita advocates for, the creation of a company or organization has not happened yet.

For your consideration:

  • Momentum of the idea
  • Plans for the future Startup Wichita
  • How I see MakeICT and SuW can overlap
