Digital Sandbox KC this week announced five new startups joining its program that will receive crucial support, mentorship and up to $20,000 in project funding to accelerate their innovative projects.
“We are delighted to bring these cutting-edge startups into the Sandbox, connecting them with the necessary support and resources to advance their innovative projects,” said Jill Meyer, senior director of Technology Venture Studio, which houses Digital Sandbox KC. “Digital Sandbox KC is committed to supporting founders and scalable technologies that challenge the status quo. We are excited to see these startups thrive.”
In addition to receiving up to $20,000 in early-stage project funding, startups in the program gain access to the Technology Venture Studio community and technical project support.
“Digital Sandbox KC is helping fill a critical financing need to get our MVP off the ground and launched to the public,” said Danny Moran, co-founder and CEO of Advoteck alongside Bryce Wolff.
Advoteck — which earlier this spring earned first place in the Regnier Midwest Social Entrepreneurship Awards at the University of Missouri-Kansas City’s Regnier Venture Creation Challenge — is building technologies that protect vulnerable individuals from financial cybercrime.
Its first product is a mobile keyboard that notifies caregivers when a dependent shares potential sensitive information online.
