Urban Market Investments
was founded to address the clear need in Kansas City to increase financial and career pathways for residents and businesses in low-income communities. UMI is the good start to great businesses. UMI supports their entrepreneurial spirit and hard work by providing easy access to the tools, credentials, preparation, training, mentorship and resources that lead to greater economic power for themselves, their families, and communities.
Urban Market Investments’ principals all bring well-known and well-tenured careers of business development, financial acumen, investment and philanthropy–each with a commitment to economic justice and opportunity, and an abiding love for the Kansas City area.
