7/8 Timing is everything. As coastal cities get more expensive, investors are turning their eyes to the Midwest. The region’s potential is finally being recognized.

6/8 The rise of remote work means geography matters less, and the Midwest is no longer “too far” from the action. Founders here can now connect with global partners while enjoying a high quality of life.

5/8 There’s a growing support network of mentors, accelerators, and investors looking to back Midwest founders who are making real impact. It’s a community that believes in collaboration over competition.

4/8 The cost of living and operating is significantly lower, meaning founders can focus on sustainable growth over rapid scaling just to satisfy investors.

3/8 With access to top universities and an underutilized talent pool, Midwest entrepreneurs can build strong, loyal teams in cities like KC, Omaha, and St. Louis—without the turnover of coastal hubs.

2/8 While only 0.05% of startups nationwide raise venture capital, Midwest founders thrive by building resilient businesses with fewer resources. They’re creative problem-solvers by necessity.

Why the Midwest? Why Now? The Midwest is the next big thing 1/8 The Midwest has long been underestimated, but it's becoming a hotbed of innovation. Founders here are not just entrepreneurs—they're visionaries shaping their communities and beyond.
