An eight-week program targeting knowledge and access gaps between emerging startups and enterprise companies helped boost a trio of Kansas City ventures whose founders are now eying new customers and partners as they scale.

The 2023 NXTSTAGE Enterprise Engagement Series — an initiative of Wichita-based NXTUS — wrapped its latest cohort during Wichita Startup Week and Global Entrepreneurship Week. The program featured 19 growth-minded Kansas startups and 11 community-minded enterprise partners seeking new connections.

Cohort members pitched during a live event Nov. 15 at Cargill Protein Headquarters.
