Kansas Capital Multiplier Venture Fund
The Kansas Capital Multiplier Fund is a program that provides matching funds through its partner network to eligible businesses in communities across Kansas. The program is a service of the Kansas Center for Entrepreneurship DBA NetWork Kansas and its partner network. NetWork Kansas was established as a component of the Kansas Economic Growth Act of 2004 to further entrepreneurship and small business growth as a priority for economic and community development in the State of Kansas. Entrepreneurs and existing small businesses access the Kansas Capital Multiplier Fund by working closely with local or regional financial institutions, NetWork Kansas partners, and angel investment networks. Backed by more than 490 partners statewide, the NetWork Kansas service promotes an entrepreneurial environment by connecting entrepreneurs and small business owners with the expertise, education and economic resources they need in order to succeed.
Through the partner network, businesses can apply for matching equity up to 9% of the private venture capital invested. Private equity invested includes funds invested by private equity firms and angel investors. Businesses eligible include technology and bioscience companies who are working with university entrepreneurial centers, university centers of excellence, and/or the Kansas Bioscience Authority. In additon, rural businesses or businesses in distressed areas of urban communities that meet specific criteria and have local angel investors and are working with NetWork Kansas partners may also qualify.
