Pipeline announced this week that applications are now available for the first regional class of its entrepreneurial fellowship. As we reported in April, Pipeline, a five-year-old, Kansas-based program for innovative, high-growth entrepreneurs, is expanding its focus from Kansas to the Midwest a result of budget cuts in Kansas and a subsequent $800,000 challenge grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
