1. Grit Virtual

Founded: 2017

Also honored in: 2019 Best Tech Startups in Wichita

“Grit is a solution for the massive labor waste that exists on construction projects due to ineffective project planning and management. Even with existing software, the planning and scheduling processes for construction have largely remained unchanged since the early 1900’s. Grit is a merger of existing scheduling themes such as the Last Planner Process (engaging workface personnel in plan input), 4D animations, the Critical Path Method, and newfound themes such as algorithmic sequencing and artificial intelligence.”

2. Lawn Buddy

Founded: 2016

Also honored in: 2019 Best Tech Startups in Wichita

“Lawn Buddy is an on-demand lawn care service, that connects lawn care providers, “lawntrepreneurs”, to homeowners, via a user-friendly app and website.

Lawn Buddy aims to create value for both the homeowners and the lawn care providers. Lawn Buddy will improve the overall customer service experience for homeowners, by providing convenient and quality lawn care at an affordable price. The on-demand business model allows users the flexibility of only getting lawn care when they want it, thus liberating them from the constraints of a fixed weekly or bi-weekly schedule. Since lawn growth is inconsistent, varying on seasons, amount of rain and other factors, the on-demand accessibility will result in savings for users. Lawn Buddy’s efficient app will give users back their precious time to spend on activities that they enjoy. By utilizing lawn care providers from Lawn Buddy, homeowners will also reduce their risk of bodily injury.”
