VP of Innovation
Sep 2025 — Present · Springfield, MO, US
What if the biggest barrier to launching a tech startup isn\'t funding, talent, or technology—but simply knowing where to start?That\'s the challenge codefi is solving, and Kevin Kirchner is helping architect the system to make it happen at scale.As VP of Innovation, Kevin is working alongside codefi\'s action-oriented team to transform the organization into a founder factory—a place where aspiring entrepreneurs across Missouri go from \"someday\" to launched MVP in weeks, not years. His role is twofold: collaborate on the infrastructure, frameworks, and AI-powered tools that make codefi\'s founder creation machine systematic and repeatable—and empower everyone at codefi to harness AI\'s potential through practical, battle-tested techniques from a seasoned developer in the field.\"Codefi has an extraordinary opportunity,\" Kevin explains.\"We\'re positioned to show that world-class startup creation doesn\'t require Silicon Valley. It requires the right system, the right support, and the willingness to build in public. We\'re raising unicorns out in cow pastures—and I\'m grateful to work with a team that\'s as action-oriented as they come.\"With hands-on experience testing AI coding tools since 2021 and running his own innovation lab at True Frontier, Kevin brings codefi something invaluable: proven processes for using AI to do more, do it better, and do it faster. Every automation playbook and curriculum framework he\'s tested becomes part of codefi\'s arsenal for empowering founders.\"My job is to help make codefi the place where anyone with drive and an idea can become a tech founder,\" Kevin says.\"Not because we\'re building it for them—but because we\'re teaching them the AI-powered tools that make building inevitable.\"→ As codefi redefines what\'s possible in regional tech ecosystems, Kevin and the team are ensuring everyone has the skills to scale.
