Entrepreneurship powers Missouri’s economy. I’ve contacted my legislators to urge restoring Missouri Technology Corporation funding in FY27—because investing in innovation is investing in Missouri’s future. https://t.co/30IvCl9K6E
thanks @NEXTMissouri @RighttoStart

Great to see more than a dozen Kansas City region organizations receive support through Meta’s 2026 Data Center Community Action Grants.

Investments like these help strengthen economic opportunity across the region.

@foundation @djkero @Mary_McCawley_ Thank you for sharing this! I appreciate understanding how @foundation operates and its mission. And obv the incredible art you exposed this first timer to!

I pass on a lot of companies where I like some things about the deal but have not reached conviction. I offer to stay in touch.

90% of founders don’t do this (I get it).

But the ones that do, I always revisit the decision when they reach out - did I make the right decision, should I look again, can I be useful with intros or connections?

Staying top of mind is an underrated founder superpower 🚀

@startupsxyz @mattwatsonkc @KadimaCareers The best words any team member could hear from their leader: "It feels awesome to help people advance in their career and have a better job and... then seeing how that helps their family and all different things... like it just feels good." ~4:45 Insightful, helpful episode!

I just audited our tech stack. Cancelled 3, fixed 2 that charged us too much, and noted 4 that we may want to cancel.

It's a good time of year to review your software spend. Look for black friday deals for savings on annual plans for software that you rely on! ✨
