As the Midwest continues its snowballing success as a hotspot for startups, two of Kansas City’s biggest startup supporters have merged. This merger has also resulted in an additional $1 million in funding for the combined organisations. The funding was donated by Affinity Worldwide and was given to Kansas City Startup Foundation (KCSF), a nonprofit which encourages and enables local startups. Along with the donation, Kansas City based Affinity is also donating ownership of the Center for Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Development (CEED) to the foundation. KCSF will take on CEED programs and staff; this includes Startland News, The Kansas City Startup Village, Village Square Coworking Studio, MECA Challenge, 1Week KC and Startup Crawl KC.
