Arch Grants awards $50,000 equity-free grants and pro bono support services to entrepreneurs who locate their startups in St. Louis. This program is an aggressive effort to build a new economy and inspire the next generation of employers, civic leaders, and philanthropists for our region.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's competition will look a little different. We talk with Gabe Angieri, Director of Development & Operations at Arch Grants, about this year's application process, the addition of 5 bonus $50K grants to be awarded specifically to early-stage geospatial technology companies, and tips for aspiring applicants.  2020 Arch Grants applications open May 15th.
