Event Description:
Join us for Community Powered Capital, a discussion focused on decentralized finance (DeFi) and why it matters right now for Kansas City communities, entrepreneurs, and everyday people. As traditional funding paths tighten and local projects struggle to access capital, new financial tools are emerging that allow communities to fund themselves, transparently and collaboratively.
This event is designed to break down DeFi in plain language what it is, why it exists, and how it can unlock alternative capital for small businesses, creators, farmers, nonprofits, and community-led initiatives across Kansas City.
Agenda:
🔍 5:30 – 6:00 PM | Community Powered Capital Discussion
A guided conversation covering:
What is DeFi? A simple, practical explanation
Why DeFi matters now as traditional capital becomes more restrictive
Why you should care—even if you’re not “crypto-native”
How DeFi can benefit Kansas City, from local business funding to community resilience
Real-world use cases for alternative, community-driven capital
🚀 6:00 – 6:30 PM | Featured Presentation: Fundora
Hear from Fundora, a Wyoming-based project building tools that bring decentralized finance to individuals and organizations seeking new paths to capital. Fundora will showcase their platform and how they are working alongside the Wyoming Stable Token (FRNT) to demonstrate compliant, real-world DeFi infrastructure designed for everyday use not speculation.
💬 6:30 – 6:50 PM | Q&A + Open Discussion
Engage directly with speakers, ask questions, and explore how these financial tools could apply to your business, project, or community initiative.
