ECJC Programs

To accomplish our mission of building companies that create wealth and jobs in the region, ECJC manages four distinct programs:

Business Incubation

ECJC provides hands-on business assistance to a limited number of promising, high-growth-potential companies. Among the services we offer are project-based business consulting, entrepreneurial workshops and seminars, access to funding sources and business experts, and turn-key facilities. For a more complete listing, click here.

Our ideal customer is an early-stage “high-return” company with an innovative product or service that has potential national or international relevance. The team has at least one member working full-time in the company, is open to advice and counsel, and seeks partners to achieve significant revenue and job growth. A Johnson County, Kansas, location is preferred, though not required. To apply for ECJC services, click here.
