1 Million Cups Des Moines

The most innovative energy you'll feel all week. Join us for free coffee, Wednesdays at 8AM!

1 Million Cups is a weekly educational program started by the Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City. We meet every Wednesday from 8-9:30AM at Gravitate in downtown Des Moines. Each week a group of entrepreneurs get together and highlight a startup within the community. The featured startup company presents to the group (usually around 6 minutes), giving a little background on their startup and what t

hey are currently working on. There is then 20 minutes or more of Q&A with the entrepreneurs in attendance. Our goals are to engage and grow the startup community as well as accelerate the startups within it.
