PR.com<\/a>)–\u00a0Elevator, a co-warehousing and community concept, is expanding to Kansas City, backed by $1.6 million in new equity financing. Following the success of its Omaha and Des Moines locations, Elevator\u2019s Kansas City site will open in the heart of North Kansas City, across the street from Callsign Brewing and just a few blocks from Chicken N Pickle. This expansion aims to provide Kansas City-based businesses with the space, resources, and connections they need to grow.<\/p>\nElevator combines co-working with warehousing, offering entrepreneurs time and cost-saving efficiencies to scale their operations. Flexible month-to-month memberships include micro-warehouse units, private offices, and co-working spaces. Members can easily adapt their space needs as they grow without the burden of long-term leases.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur first location has proven that small businesses are seeking flexible, supportive environments that address their unique challenges,\u201d said Shannon Lerda, Co-Founder and President. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring this model to Kansas City and help local entrepreneurs grow and thrive in this incredible community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elevator\u2019s new location will be a growth catalyst for the region\u2019s makers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. The site offers logistics support, access to capital, and a robust network of mentors and entrepreneurs. \u201cWe\u2019ve learned that building a strong community is key to our success,\u201d added Emiliano Lerda, Co-Founder and CEO. \u201cIt\u2019s what sets Elevator apart and creates value for our members.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to space and logistical resources, Elevator members benefit from educational programming and connections with key community partners. Kansas City\u2019s rich history of entrepreneurship and a dynamic small business ecosystem makes it the perfect fit for Elevator\u2019s next chapter.<\/p>\n
“I’m super excited for the addition of Elevator to the KC entrepreneurship community. I believe they fill an obvious void in the market.
