It's BAAACK! Startup Weekend Kansas City 2012 at Kauffman Foundation

For a few years now we've been promoting, attending, hosting and even sponsoring Startup Weekend Kansas City.  It's a 54-hour frenzy of business model creation, coding, designing and market validation followed by a finale of presentations in front of local entrepreneurial leaders.  And we could not be more excited that it's back in Kansas City November 16-18, 2012 at the Kauffman Foundation.
