Great resources available to our local entrepreneurs!

The Show-Me Network, led by efactory and Codefi, is a statewide initiative that provides entrepreneurs with free resources, training, and professional guidance to help them overcome common barriers…

We've been hinting. Here's the first piece.

The founder AI stack for 2026 — organized by job-to-be-done, not hype.

Not a tool list. Not a demo reel. A working session on what to actually run, what to skip, and where each one breaks the moment real customers and real money are involved.

Most founders are paying for four tools that do the same job badly. We'll fix that.

This session also opens launch week for the Show-Me Founders Series — a path of workshops built for Missouri tech founders preparing to raise equity capital.

We've supported 100+ startups, who've gone on to raise $60M+ in follow-on capital, and trained 1,000+ tech and AI learners across southern Missouri. This is the next version of that work.

Sponsored access through the Show-Me Network, in partnership with Codefi. Registration in the comments.

And to be clear — this is the beginning, not the whole thing. More to come 🚀

Founders: what's one AI tool you're paying for that you can't actually justify? 👇
