Introducing the Sprocket WKY Platform: A Free Digital Resource for Entrepreneurs

What's the Startup?!

Western Kentucky just got a major upgrade.

In this episode, we’re sitting down with Monica Bilak, Executive Director of Sprocket, to introduce the brand-new Sprocket WKY Platform—a free digital resource built to connect and empower entrepreneurs across all 22 counties of Western Kentucky.

Whether you’re just exploring a business idea or scaling a tech-enabled company, this platform is for you. It offers:

• Free startup courses and resources
• A robust mentor directory (book a call instantly!)
• A regional job board
• A forum to share ideas, wins, and local news
• And access to exclusive programs like the Market Fit Lab

We built this platform to bridge the gaps rural founders face—because distance shouldn’t keep great ideas from thriving.
