About this Event
Kansas City Shows Up Beautifully for Startups.
Accelerators. Incubators. Pitch nights. Launch energy.
But what about the women who are already 4, 5, 6+ years in?
The ones who built the thing…
…and now are asking:
- Why does growth feel more complex now?
- How do I scale without burning out?
- What does intentional growth actually look like?
- How do I build something sustainable — not just successful?
This Is Not Just a Networking Event.
This is a conversation.
A small, intentional working session for women who are past launch mode and ready to think differently about their next chapter.
No pitches.
No panels.
No pressure to perform.
Just real dialogue with other established business owners navigating the same stage.
What to Expect
✔ Guided conversation + collaborative brainstorming
✔ Insight from peers in years 4+ of business
✔ Space to think strategically (not reactively)
✔ A different kind of room — one built for where you are now
Who This Is For
Women who:
- Have been in business 4+ years
- Are no longer in startup mode
- Want clarity before their next move
- Are craving depth over networking

Why We’re Gathering Now
With several long-standing women’s communities shifting or closing, we saw an opportunity to create space — not to replace them — but to support women entering a different phase of business.
This is the first KC Cohort gathering of 2026, hosted by:
Gabby Starnes (Helps2) and Carolynn Santos (IndiVequity)
