It’s a given that Pipeline entrepreneurs are incredibly talented and ambitious. But you can also call them clever, giving, playful, eclectic and competitive (in a great way). Our Family has its own personality, and it shows!
The Pipeline Personality will be on full display when our 2019 Fellows and other guest presenters take the stage on January 23 at the Innovators Pipeline Daytime Showcase at the Crossroads Hotel in Kansas City.
Come learn more about this dynamic bunch, get energized by their stories — and bring your own personality to the The Innovators Pipeline Daytime Showcase. We are sure you'll fit right in.
Our Inspire Talks will feature Pipeline entrepreneurs, mentors and advisors taking the best of what they’ve learned over their careers and packaging them in short talks throughout the day. We are taking the stage, sharing rare insights and INSPIRING all of you for the year ahead!

The Innovators Pipeline Daytime Showcase presentations include three students representing our University Partners: the University of Kansas, the University of Nebraska and Washington University in St. Louis. The students were selected by their respective universities after competing in pitch competitions and contests. Each are accomplished entrepreneurs while maintaining schedules as students.
Pipeline is excited to have them join us at The Innovators Pipeline Daytime Showcase.
Special thanks to our Pipeline University partners:
The Presentation judges will be scoring all of the 2019 graduating Fellows as they present their business as the “capstone” activity for the end of their Fellowship year. This score from the presentation will be part of the overall scoring for “Innovator of the Year” award, which will be awarded at the Innovators Pipeline Entrepreneurial Awards Gala on April 23, 2020.

The Plan judges will evaluate the final “business plan” the Fellows have submitted at the end of their Fellowship. This is much more like the “final thesis” to their year-long Fellowship experience and is one of the elements used in evaluating how well these Fellows have done in integrating the work this year.
