MidwestCon

Imagine a platform that’s part Robin Hood, part MasterClass—connecting founders with funding and the expertise they need to go from pre-seed to fully funded. That’s what Cyrannus brings to the table. This holiday season, we’re especially thankful for their partnership and dedication to empowering founders. As one of our signature partners at MidwestCon Cyrannus is helping us drive innovation—but it doesn’t stop there. In the coming year, we’ll have even more opportunities and activations, both at MidwestCon and beyond, to connect founders with the funding and expertise they need. Huge thanks to Howard (Lee) Mosbacker IV, PhD and the Cyrannus team for their continued support. Keep disrupting, my friends!

At MidwestCon, we’re grateful for the changemakers, innovators, and disruptors who challenge the norm and inspire us to build a future where emerging technologies are human-centric and accessible to all. We also want to extend a special thank you to Techsgiving in DC for their community.
