The Enterprise Center of Johnson County (ECJC) Growth Mentoring Service (GMS) has established itself as a valuable resource for founders in Kansas City over the past decade. The program is now expanding its offerings to specifically support early-stage startups in the technology sector. This new initiative, called GMS-Tech, aims to provide founders with access to experienced mentors to help them overcome barriers to growth and strengthen the region’s innovation economy.
Rebecca Gubbels, managing director of the Growth Mentoring Service, emphasizes the importance of volunteer mentors who are either technologists themselves or have worked as experts in technology companies. These mentors bring valuable experience from early-stage company development and are willing to pass on their knowledge. GMS-Tech aims to ensure that promising technology startups receive the resources and mentorship they need to succeed.
The program is modeled after MIT’s renowned Venture Mentoring Service and is characterized by its structured team mentoring approach. The mentors meet personally with the founders on a monthly basis to provide targeted support. This structure differs from other programs because it relies not only on sporadic advice, but on continuous, results-oriented collaboration.
An example of a company benefiting from GMS tech is SiteScan, a Kansas City-based startup that uses AI to automate sewer inspections. Ian Foster, co-founder of SiteScan, highlights the value of support from experienced mentors who have extensive knowledge of various areas. This type of support can be crucial for young founders to achieve their business goals and gain a foothold in the market.
