FOX 4 News: Social Venture Studio in KC helping startups prioritize social impact before profits

We were featured on Fox 4 news! “Social Venture Studio in KC helping startups prioritize social impact before profits” 🌱🧡

The first year of the Social Venture Studio includes seven businesses in the 2022 Cohort: Diversity Telehealth, @theprospectkc , @healthyhiphop, EPEC Inc. @thegroomingprojectkc, @kanbesmarkets, @onepairkc, and KC Can Compost.

They were chosen because they are all trying to run a business while having a positive impact on the community. That mission-based approach is different from the traditional entrepreneurial model.

“We’re all trying to prioritize both creating a sustainable venture but prioritizing people at the same time,” said KC Can Compost Executive Director Kristan Chamberlain.
