How We Champion Founders
Connect
We help forge connections between Arch Grants Founders and potential investors, customers, and talent.
Advise
We endeavor to be true partners to each and every one of our Founders, helping not only their companies thrive, but their teams as well.
Engage
We plan events and creative opportunities for Founders to interact with one other and with the broader St. Louis community, to help forge lasting personal and professional connections.
Recruit
We know that Arch Grants Companies that hire in St. Louis are more likely to stay and grow in our region, so we help to make connections for our Founders with potential hires, interns and contractors.
Support
For Founders immigrating to the U.S., we work closely to support their visa and/or citizenship objectives.
Advocate
We advocate for the St. Louis Startup Ecosystem by serving on regional planning groups and committees and helping to educate key legislative leaders.
The Ecosystem That Rallies Around Founders
Because of Arch Grants, we’ve had the courage to work in a more challenging market with higher returns. Not only was the $50,000 grant helpful, but the credibility we received, as well as the introductions to potential clients, has helped us become successful faster than we predicted.
