For business

Bring your business into the room.

A.I.M.’s focus is bringing a community together. During the day, that means business owners — collaborating, supporting each other, or just working somewhere quiet.

Monday to Friday, 10am–2pm

Entrepreneur hours

Collaborate, drink coffee, and rub shoulders with other owners — or take the quiet space and get your own work done. The studio is yours until 2pm, when the after school students arrive.

Your own software suite

Most owners are paying for several expensive business subscriptions that do not talk to each other. We build one customized suite, generated with AI, that brings those programs into a single platform you own.

You cancel the stack and take control of your own systems. It saves time and money, and it gets your setup current.

Yellow Box and Round Up

Two ways to support A.I.M. that your customers fund, not you. Put a yellow box by your register and earn a festival in your own parking lot, or offer round up at checkout.

Print and fabrication

Through our partner Emerald City Makers, also in Raytown: CNC machines, 3D printing, t-shirt and banner printing, business cards, fliers, cups and swag bags — anything a business needs to market itself.

The business equipping center

Whatever you need to be successful, we help you make it.

Signage, print, fabrication, the systems your business runs on. A business owner should not have to be a designer, a sign-maker and an IT department as well as an owner — so the equipping center is where those things get made.

And the reason it matters

The businesses in the room are the ones who hire.

Every owner who works out of this building is someone our students could work for. That is not a side effect — it is why the business side and the training side share a roof.

Please give to equip the next generation.

Training up the youth. It takes a village to raise a child.

Keep the trades alive. Let’s keep the kids off the streets and give them a safe place to learn and grow.
