Flyover Capital Announces MidxMidwest 2025

Flagship event connects Midwest tech founders, investors and corporates around the theme Built on Ambition

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Flyover Capital, a Kansas City-based venture fund building tech success stories outside coastal hubs, today announced the fourth annual MidxMidwest (MXMW), taking place Nov. 13 at Hotel Kansas City in Kansas City, Missouri. Organized with support from Iron Prairie Ventures and Polsinelli, MXMW will connect selected founders, investors, community and corporate leaders for curated one-on-one meetings, breakout sessions and networking under the theme Built on Ambition.

MXMW prioritizes meaningful connections between pre-seed to Series B founders and investors from leading venture firms nationwide. Participants are curated through an application and invitation process to ensure each year's event expands networks with relevant and high-quality introductions. As the "Crossroads of the Venture Community," MXMW draws investors from both coasts and major Midwest cities, including Silicon Valley, New York, Boston and Chicago, for a uniquely concentrated networking experience.

"We started MXMW because we saw incredible founders in our region who should have the same opportunities as entrepreneurs in more traditional tech hubs," said Dan Kerr, managing partner at Flyover Capital. "This year's theme, Built on Ambition, reflects the drive behind every breakthrough company. As AI and corporate innovation reshape the market, ambition is the foundation that will carry bold founders and corporate leaders forward — and MXMW is where those partnerships begin."

The event comes at a critical time as corporate leaders navigate rapid changes like the AI transition, where preparedness among many Midwest businesses remains underdeveloped. MXMW offers a crucial bridge to emerging technologies and direct access to early-stage founders shaping these solutions. For corporate innovation leaders, it's a chance to explore practical applications of AI and other transformative tools, influence how promising startups adapt to enterprise needs and build partnerships that accelerate digital transformation.

For investors actively deploying capital, MXMW has become a proven source of vetted deal flow. Last year's event led to Flyover Capital's first 2025 investment, and other institutional investors have also made commitments to companies discovered through MXMW. Over the past four years, the event has facilitated more than 2,000 introductions, and this year alone is expected to generate 500 in-person meetings in a single afternoon.

"I've been to six other conferences in the past two months, but MidxMidwest still facilitated numerous new connections," said Cooper Winrich of Nashville-based FINTOP Capital. "The quality of attendees was excellent — ambitious founders, engaged investors and corporate leaders from across the Midwest and Southeast."
