New Effort Aims To Increase Access To Capital For KC Entrepreneurs

Among the many challenges that Kansas City entrepreneurs face, access to funding is one of the greatest. On this edition of Up To Date, we discuss efforts underway in Kansas City to create more opportunities for young businesses in the area.    

Guests:

  • Maria Meyer is the founder of KCSourceLink, a resource for entrepreneurs in Kansas City.
  • Bobby Burch is the editor -in-chief of Startland News
When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.

Slow news days are a thing of the past. As KCUR’s news director, I want to cut through the noise, provide context to the headlines, and give you news you can use in your daily life – information that will empower you to make informed decisions about your neighborhood, your city and the region.
