We are excited to once again host Wichita Startup Week (WSW) November 13-17. Now in its third year, WSW moved from October to November this year to align with Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW). Several of our members are presenting this read. There are five tracks and 36 events. Read our blog post to learn more.

Our hotseats are the easiest and most affordable membership level we offer on a month-to-month basis. But what are they? Hotseats are open-area workstations that are available to members and day pass users on a first-come, first-served basis. They don’t have permanent owners and cannot be formally reserved.

Groover Labs is excited to share the Kansas Micro-Internship Program with you. Through this program, Kansas-based companies and organizations can receive grant funding for Micro-Internship opportunities as long as the selected student is enrolled in a Kansas public college or university. Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments that take place in all areas of an organization. These projects can be completed remotely on a year-round basis and typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work. Projects are typically due within a month of kick-off and provide your busy team with immediate support on short-term tasks.

Congrats to Groover Labs member Miguel Johns, founder and CEO of KingFit, for being named to the 2021 class of Pipeline Fellows. Each year, Pipeline selects a group of high-growth entrepreneurs to join a yearlong fellowship from across the Midwest. The Fellowship year is defined by four, three-day modules focused on topics such as business models, financials, finding your customer, and much more. The goal of these modules is to help our entrepreneurs grow their companies and provide them with expert advice from our panel of national advisors and mentors.
