KCSourceLink is a nonprofit organization based in Kansas City, Missouri, serving the 18-county Kansas City region. It connects entrepreneurs and small businesses to a network of more than 240 business-building resources designed to help ideas, startups, or established companies grow and succeed. The organization acts as a broker to match a business’s stage, industry, location, and needs with appropriate resources across areas such as marketing, financial planning, sales, loans, technical work, product development, education, government contracts, and operations. KCSourceLink also tracks access to capital and the economic impact of startups, and maintains maps of the region’s entrepreneurial resources from inception to exit. It identifies gaps in the local ecosystem and collaborates with partners to address those needs; a concrete development in 2021 was a partnership with the South Kansas City Chamber of Commerce to assist small businesses with PPP applications.
