About

InvestMidwest Venture Capital Forum is committed to connecting innovative startups with the capital and resources they need to thrive. With a focus on AgriFood, MedTech, and Digital Technology sectors, our mission is to highlight the incredible innovation happening across the country while growing the vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Midwest.
We return to Kansas City in 2026 celebrating a legacy of fostering connections between high-potential startups and leading investors. The Midwest has become a destination for innovation and investment, offering strong deal flow, a supportive business climate, and the ability for capital to go further. Whether you’re based in the region, interested in entering this dynamic market, or simply recognize the opportunities here, InvestMidwest provides a platform to showcase your company, build valuable relationships, and achieve your growth goals.
The Forum’s work remains as important today as it has ever been.
