In May, the non-profit Arch Grants awarded 15 startups with grants worth $50,000 each. The only caveat was that the recipients’ startups had to be located in downtown St. Louis. More than 420 companies applied and only 15 were selected. Almost two months have gone by since the competition winners have been announced (Techli among them). Last week we shared the first of a four part series describing the competition and its potential impact on the Midwest, St. Louis, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Here is the second installation, which features the Arch Grants competitors pitching their startups during Finalist Weekend in St. Louis.
