    If you caught us two Thursdays in a row, you already know it's been a great couple of weeks for AVP! First up was our AVP Pitch Meeting! We had two standout pitches from our NXTUS alumni, Ali Al Jabry of Kwema and Tom McAndrew of SippTech. Thank you to Hinkle Law Firm LLC for hosting us! The following Thursday, we headed downstairs, through the marked doors and into the hidden Vault at the Commerce Club, for Future Funders. This event is built for young professionals thinking about ownership, bankers and lenders looking to connect with emerging operators, and connectors who want to keep great businesses right here in Wichita. Nick Pohlenz, Founder of Heartland Equity Group, led a fireside conversation about what it really takes to buy a business in the Heartland. Thanks to everyone who joined us!

  • It is always such a joy for our team to serve as judges for the Network Kansas and Kansas State University Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge State Competition in Manhattan!

Thank you to Network Kansas and Kansas State University for a great event and for inviting us to be part of this year’s competition!

    It’s not too late to sign up for Future Funders tonight at The Commerce Club!

    Where do young professionals in Wichita go to learn about business ownership without feeling like they’re behind? Future Funders. We asked Nick Pohlenz, Founder and Principal of Heartland Equity Group, who’s now actively buying businesses in the Heartland, what the experience has been like: “Future Funders has equipped me with the knowledge and local connections to actually act on my business buying goals, not just research them. It’s building a community of ambitious people and showing my generation there are real opportunities to create value outside of starting from scratch.” Nick is going to talk about exactly that at our next session on April 30th. If you’ve been curious about buying a business, investing in one, or supporting someone who is...this is worth your time. This is a great room for: • Young professionals thinking about ownership • Bankers and lenders looking to connect with emerging operators and deal flow • Connectors who want to keep great businesses, and their impact, right here in Wichita No panels. No fluff. Just real conversations about how to take the first step. Join us on April 30th for Future Funders with Nick Pohlenz! RSVP for free here: https://luma.com/4fklifi5

  • Join the Department of Marketing at Wichita State University and NXTUS on May 14 from 9:30 - 11:00 a.m. for a free, hands-on workshop built for entrepreneurs ready to build or strengthen their website. Whether you're starting from scratch or refining an existing site, this session will help you create a website that clearly communicates your value and supports your business goals. Through this session led by Marisa VanSkiver, MA, Senior Educator at WSU and CEO at Captain Coder, we’ll focus on the fundamentals that matter most: clear messaging, thoughtful structure, and a user experience designed to convert visitors into customers. You’ll learn how to articulate what makes your business unique and translate that into a site that works for you with no technical background required. Through a mix of interactive exercises, small group breakouts, and real-world examples, you'll get practical feedback on your own online presence and leave with tangible next steps you can actually use.
