Resource
Digital Sandbox KC

Digital Sandbox KC is an innovative approach to connecting Kansas City’s corporate community to entrepreneurs and early-stage companies. Digital Sandbox KC was designed to address two immediate gaps in the entrepreneurial ecosystem: connecting large industry to entrepreneurial and university research networks and providing technical assistance for early-stage concept development.


The Digital Sandbox is best positioned to help companies that:

  • Have a significant IT/digital component
  • Have disruptive technologies/clear competitive advantages
  • Are building platform technologies, enabling the development of future products and processes
  • Are local and plan to stay local
  • Have strong, clearly defined management teams
  • Are not already in the marketplace
  • Need first in funding
  • Have a project of some sort standing between them and key investors or customers


If you have any questions, see our FAQ page or contact us.

Impact

Since inception and based on 125 proof-of-concept projects, we have created 67 new Kansas City companies, launched 158 products, created 677 jobs, and resulted in $80M in follow-on funding.
