The KC Nexus Fund will address a critical gap in the commercialization ecosystem for life science entrepreneurs in KC, Dennis Ridenour said. With our network of diverse researchers and industry connections from across the region, we are in the ideal position to establish this fund and invest in regional technologies that will improve human and animal health.
