SUMMARY:Proof to Profit
DESCRIPTION:Too many businesses struggle because they’re built on assumptions instead of real customer feedback. Proof to Profit is a three-part virtual training series designed to help entrepreneurs test and validate their ideas early. \nThis course focuses on customer discovery—learning directly from the people you want to serve. You’ll explore practical ways to gather proof through interviews\, surveys\, observations\, and small experiments. These tools help you understand what customers need\, what they value\, and whether your idea is worth pursuing. \nUsing ideas from All In Startup by Diana Kander\, the course helps you avoid the “Startup Loop of Despair\,” where entrepreneurs invest time and money without seeing results. Instead\, you’ll learn how to test\, learn\, and adjust before making big commitments. \nThe series is led by Senior Business Development Consultant Joel Barrett\, a serial entrepreneur who has coached hundreds of business owners. Participants receive a digital copy of All In Startup\, group discussion and coaching\, tools to gather proof of concept\, and access to one-on-one business coaching. \nThis class is a prerequisite to StartSmart. \nScholarships may be available\, apply here!

SUMMARY:Value Builder Business Owner Forum - Group 1
DESCRIPTION:The Value Builder System helps business owners understand what drives the value of their company and how to increase it over time. Offered through the Missouri Small Business Development Center\, this confidential and comprehensive assessment gives you insight into your business from a buyer’s perspective. \nThe process begins with the Value Builder Score questionnaire\, which takes about 15 minutes to complete. Once finished\, you’ll receive an estimated business value\, an overall score out of 100\, and detailed results across eight key drivers of value. These drivers highlight specific strengths and areas for improvement that directly impact how attractive and valuable your business is in the marketplace. \nThe Value Builder System is useful whether you’re planning an exit or simply want to ensure you’re building a strong asset for the future. Improving your score can lead to real financial impact. Research across more than 70\,000 businesses shows that companies with a Value Builder Score of 80 or higher sell for a 71% premium compared to average-scoring businesses. \nAfter completing the assessment\, you can choose how to engage with the system based on your needs and preferred level of support:\nGroup Program (6–8 members): $1\,495/year\n1:1 Program: $4\,495/year \nIf you’re interested in joining a Value Builder cohort\, send us a message!

SUMMARY:Pitching to Investors
DESCRIPTION:Raising investment capital starts with a clear\, well-structured pitch.

Her background includes serving as chief investment officer for KTEC and managing investments for GE Mortgage and GE Reinsurance. \nParticipants leave with practical guidance\, clearer expectations\, and greater confidence when preparing to pitch to investors. \nScholarships may be available\, apply here!

SUMMARY:Winning Federal Research Grants
DESCRIPTION:Winning Federal Research Grants: SBIR/STTR Workshop is an introductory seminar designed for technology-based businesses seeking research and development funding through federal programs. This session provides an overview of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs and how they support innovation and commercialization. \nParticipants learn how to identify relevant grant opportunities\, understand program requirements\, and navigate the application process. The workshop also highlights best practices for strengthening proposals and increasing competitiveness in these highly selective funding programs. \nSBIR and STTR grants encourage domestic small businesses to participate in federal research and development efforts with strong potential for commercialization. These programs help small businesses explore new technologies\, reduce technical risk\, and move innovations closer to market. By engaging small businesses in the nation’s R&D efforts\, SBIR and STTR support both economic growth and technological advancement. \nNumerous Kansas City–area companies have successfully funded their research through SBIR and STTR grants\, with awards that can total up to $1.5 million per business. This workshop helps participants understand how their business could qualify and what steps are required to pursue this funding.
