A New Kind of Kickoff: The MidxMidwest Starty Party

Ahead of the main conference, the week's networking kicks off at the MidxMidwest Starty Party on Nov. 12 at Knuckleheads, an open community event presented by Polsinelli, with support from Flyover Capital and Pipeline Entrepreneurs. Headlined by The Greeting Committee, a nationally touring indie-pop band with Kansas City roots, the Starty Party celebrates the creativity and collaboration that fuel the region's startup scene.

"The Starty Party captures what makes Kansas City special—our grit, collaboration, and the belief that big ideas can start here and grow anywhere," said Dan Kerr, managing partner at Flyover Capital.

A Platform for Collaboration and Growth

Since its inception, MidxMidwest has helped forge hundreds of strategic connections, fueling millions of dollars in follow-on investment and partnerships between tech founders and corporations across 19+ states.

"The goal of MidxMidwest is to create the connective tissue between founders, investors, and corporates so opportunities flow faster," said Alexa Heying, head of platform at Flyover Capital and lead organizer of the event. "Every new relationship built here strengthens the foundation for what the Midwest can become as a tech economy."

This year's conference is powered by corporate partners and ecosystem collaborators whose support makes MidxMidwest possible. In addition to Flyover Capital, Iron Prairie Ventures, and Polsinelli, key contributors include Pipeline Entrepreneurs, High Alpha, and the KC Tech Council. The KC Tech Council will host the Energy & Data Center Innovation Summit at Aspiria on Nov. 14, capping off a week that showcases the collaboration and ambition driving the region's tech economy forward.

While MidxMidwest conference registration has reached capacity, the Starty Party remains open to the broader community. Free tickets to the Starty Party and full event details are available at www.MidxMidwest.com.
