Startland is redefining what’s possible for Kansas City.
From amplifying entrepreneurial stories through Startland News, to empowering young innovators in classrooms, to building inclusive pathways into the region’s startup and tech communities.
We are a nonprofit on a mission to make Kansas City the most connected and courageous city in the country by supporting underestimated founders, developing future-ready talent, and championing equitable economic growth.
Your donation fuels programs that ignite creativity in youth, spotlight changemakers across our region, and remove barriers for the next generation of builders and doers. In a city full of potential, your support helps turn bold ideas into lasting impact.
Why Give to Startland?
Because Kansas City deserves bold ideas — and the people behind them deserve a platform, a pathway, and a community that believes in them.
Startland isn’t just a nonprofit — we’re a launchpad for innovation, equity, and opportunity. Every dollar you give fuels a powerful ecosystem that:
Amplifies underrepresented entrepreneurs through solutions-focused, community-rooted storytelling
Equips the next generation of innovators by bringing creativity and real-world problem solving into classrooms across the region
Builds bridges across communities to ensure talent, capital, and opportunities are accessible to all
We don’t chase trends. We cultivate courage. Your gift helps break down barriers, build up changemakers, and create lasting systems of support for those too often overlooked.
When you give to Startland, you're not donating to charity. You’re investing in people, in potential, and in Kansas City’s future.
