Elevator 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.
“Our first location has proven that small businesses are seeking flexible, supportive environments that address their unique challenges,” said Shannon Lerda, Co-Founder and President. “We’re excited to bring this model to Kansas City and help local entrepreneurs grow and thrive in this incredible community.”
Elevator’s new location will be a growth catalyst for the region’s makers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. The site offers logistics support, access to capital, and a robust network of mentors and entrepreneurs. “We’ve learned that building a strong community is key to our success,” added Emiliano Lerda, Co-Founder and CEO. “It’s what sets Elevator apart and creates value for our members.”
In addition to space and logistical resources, Elevator members benefit from educational programming and connections with key community partners. Kansas City’s rich history of entrepreneurship and a dynamic small business ecosystem makes it the perfect fit for Elevator’s next chapter.
“I’m super excited for the addition of Elevator to the KC entrepreneurship community. I believe they fill an obvious void in the market. Also, after meeting their team, it’s clear they are community builders that will help energize and connect the ecosystem,” said Adam Arrendondo, serial entrepreneur and KC ecosystem builder.
