KCRise Fund closed out its first fund and launched a second fund, which is focused on making venture capital investments in high-growth, early-stage technology companies in Kansas and the western half of Missouri.
The KCRise Fund II is targeting a size of about $30 million. Like the first fund, it's a sidecar fund, investing alongside other venture capital funds. However, it invested only in Kansas City-area companies seeking at least $1 million in Series A financing.
