Welcome to Startland.
Building communities where everyone has the confidence, skills, and opportunity to innovate and create.
Unlocking the starter in everyone.
Communities are built by starters — innovators, creators, and entrepreneurs — but this opportunity is not available to everyone. By making innovation accessible and approachable to all, we unlock the potential in individuals and their communities. We do this through education, journalism, and events. We are starting in Kansas City.
Startland Education
Education is the backbone of our communities — shaping the ways in which students will ultimately give back to them.
Startland Education works with students to develop real-world, problem solving skills, and with educators to facilitate this type of learning every day in the classroom. Through Startland Education’s programming and partnerships, they’re helping to create a Kansas City that embraces human-centered design thinking and social change.
