As we wrap up our coverage of the fourth Starutp Weekend Kansas City – look for a couple more interviews to come by week's end – we're excited to release the full video of the final Sunday pitches.
The pitches, judged by Kathy Walker of OPENAIR Equity Partners, Joel Wiggins of ECJC, Carrie Royce of Red Nova Labs, Clay Patterson of Cerner Corporation and Danny Schreiber of Silicon Prairie News (that's me!), were evaluated on three equally-weighed criteria: business model, customer validation and execution.
Thanks to our sponsor
