We are thrilled to announce that Arch Grants has been honored as a St. Louis Innovation Advocate by the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis (BAMSL). This prestigious recognition celebrates our 13 years of commitment to driving economic development in St. Louis through entrepreneurship. Our Executive Director, Gabe Angieri, accepted the award on behalf of Arch Grants, and during the panel discussion, reflected on our ongoing mission to transform St. Louis into a vibrant innovation hub.

Other awardees included:

  • Mark Sableman – St. Louis Legal Practitioner Award
  • Kathleen Quinn – St. Louis Innovator Award
  • Bill Chen – St. Louis Innovator Award

Since 2012, Arch Grants has awarded $18.5 million to more than 270 startups, with 70% led or co-led by underrepresented founders. Our portfolio companies have created over 3,900 jobs, generated over $1 billion in revenue, raised $765 million in follow-on funding, and paid out over $200 million in wages to St. Louis employees. While we’re proud of our progress, we know our work is far from complete. We remain dedicated to supporting entrepreneurs, creating jobs, and building a robust ecosystem that empowers innovative founders.

Thank you BAMSL for this meaningful recognition. Together, we’ll continue to champion the bold and build our region’s economic future.
