Digital Sandbox KC

Digital Sandbox KC is a proof-of-concept program that provides project funding, support, and resources to early-stage technology startups in the Kansas City region. The program supports innovations in areas like mobile apps, big data, software platforms, hardware, and health care IT. It does not take an equity position in the companies it funds. Awardees receive up to $20,000 in project financing to cover expenses for personnel, market research, prototyping, and beta testing. The program is part of the Technology Venture Studio, which is housed within the UMKC Innovation Center.
