Why would I start and build this?
Iโve been an entrepreneur and involved in the Kansas City entrepreneurial community for over seven years. Along the way, Iโve learned, grown, and been fortunate to connect with incredible people and organizations like UMKC, KCSourceLink, and many others.
But Iโve also seen a gap.
We talk a lot about ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด businesses. We talk about ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ด them. But what about everything in between?
What happens after you get started but donโt know whatโs next? What about the entrepreneur who is developing, rebuilding, changing direction, or simply standing at a crossroads?
Thatโs where EOTS came from.
After learning more about Rotary and its commitment to community impact, I realized this could be more than another entrepreneurship event. It could be a way to intentionally connect people with the ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐, ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ๐, ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป they need to take their next step.
Because with all the talent, resources, technology, and opportunity we have in Kansas City, I believe we can do better.
For months, Iโve worked alongside some incredible people to bring this vision to life.
EOTS is my call to our community to stop making just splashes and start making ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ โ waves that lift one another, create opportunities, and help all of us reach new heights.
Someone told me recently:

I think the same applies to our lives, careers, businesses, and communities.
Donโt just have a good one.

If that resonates with you, I personally invite you to come see what EOTS is all about.
