Inc. Speeches Senate Bill 315 Presented to Jt. Inc. Slide 1 Established Facts about Seed Capital in Kansas Seed capital is essential to the development of high-growth early stage companies. Seed capital needs cannot be met by banks or other traditional institutions. Seed capital does not flow far from its source therefore Kansas companies must leave to access essential seed capital.
Seed capital is virtually non-existent in Kansas.
Figure 1 Figure 2 Slide 2 Kansas stakeholders invest millions to develop these early stage companies only to lose them later due to a lack of seed capital in their home state. These losses represents untold missed opportunities for Kansas. Slide 4 Kansas can reverse these losses and begin building the economy of tomorrow by developing a seed capital infrastructure in Kansas. SB 315 is the necessary catalyst. Slide 5 SB 315 will overcome this barrier to Kansas future development by creating a network of Kansas Capital Companies or CapCo s.
