About Us

Startland News is Kansas City’s independent newsroom for innovation and entrepreneurship — showing what founders are doing right now, not just what they could do someday. Our stories highlight real momentum and tangible wins, while balancing coverage with the context needed to de-risk KC’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. By documenting breakthroughs, lessons learned, and what’s working on the ground, we help founders, investors, and community leaders see opportunities — and act on them.
