As the Weather Cools Down, Kansas City Entrepreneurship Heats Up

The beginning of October is always exciting, afterall, it's finally Fall.  The leaves are starting to turn and the weather is starting to cool down.  But at the same time, October seems to be heating up for Kansas City entrepreneurs.  And this coming Friday will be no different.


The Social Media Club of Kansas City is blowing up this month.  On top of hosting Building the Gigabit City earlier this week, SMCKC is also hosting their monthly breakfast from 7:30-9:00 AM at the Kansas City Cafe on Friday.  With a projected 80 people in attendance, the breakfast is a great opportunity to meet other Kansas City movers-and-shakers, entrepreneurs and social media gurus.


Missouri Bank (MoBank) is hosting it's third annual Rock. Paper. Scissors. Throwdown Tournament during First Fridays.  The event will take place at 125 Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City from 5:30 until 9:00 PM.  Those who have entered need to have wit, speed, dexterity and strategy in order to become the RPS champion and win a special prize.  Earn bragging rights, your name engraved on an RPS trophy, a belt and a gift basket filled with prizes.  Come watch the tournament on Friday and cheer on your favorite competitor!

Entrepreneur Corner, hosted by Think Big Partners and bizperc, will also be taking place during First Fridays in the Crossroads District.  Join the TBP team and 8 other knock-out startups from the Kansas City area for networking, free beer, games and fun.  Startups include Zaarly, KC Reporter, KC Incubator, Life Equals, Silo88, Derfour, Motion Machine Studio and more!  Entrepreneur Corner will take place at the corner of 18th and Baltimore from 6:00-9:00 PM.

Remember, entrepreneurs, this is just the first week of October - there are many more startup events this Fall.  Stay tuned for more event announcements in the coming weeks!
