Powered by Launch Week, NXTUS and WSU’s Small Business Development Center

Before the pitches begin, the day kicks off with the Launch Week Business Expo, where selected startups showcase their solutions to attendees. With so many unique and innovative businesses from across Kansas, the Expo is a chance to discover fresh ideas, meet local founders, and see creativity in action. The audience then votes to decide which companies will move on to pitch on stage that day. Startups must apply to be part of both the Expo and the Pitch Competition.

Be sure to stick around for lunch, dive into the afternoon programming, the Launch Week Pitch Competition and one final hooray as we close out Launch Week.
