Founded by Darcy Howe, KCRise Fund launched in 2016 as an initiative of KCRising, a long term vision for the greater Kansas City region to build capacity, bring existing businesses to scale, and fully realize the KC region’s potential. Decidedly for-profit, KCRise Fund is a traditional venture capital fund which invests side-by-side with other institutional VC investors in early stage companies based in Kansas and western half of Missouri. Our investors include corporations, university endowments, family offices and prominent business leaders in the region. In 2019, KCRise launched KCRise Fund II, and KCRise currently has $70 million in committed capital under management.
