More than 20 companies kicked off Global Entrepreneurship Week earlier this month by taking part in the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation‘s second Startup@Kauffman Demo Day.

“I think Mr. (Kauffman) would’ve absolutely loved this event,” Kauffman Foundation’s Cameron Cushman said, noting the event combined Kauffman’s love for entrepreneurship and love for Kansas City.

Though the event is titled “Demo Day,” not all presenters gave product demonstrations when showcasing their businesses. All, on the other hand, shared how those in the audience could help grow their companies. The event’s host, the Kauffman Foundation, and emcee, Thad Langford, encouraged this call for community support.

“As you listen to these companies present, figure out how you can get involved,” said Langford, a Kansas City-based angel investor. “Think about how you can help these companies … because ultimately that’s really what’s going to build the startup community here and also in the region.”

Each startup presented for 6 minutes before turning it over to audience questions for 4 minutes. Watch the companies present in the videos embedded below (presentation order accompanies each video).
