Hi __________, 

I hope you are doing well. I wanted to personally reach out to invite you to consider supporting Arch Grants’ annual neXus Gala on Friday, October 30 at Union Station. 

neXus is one of the most dynamic and influential gatherings in St. Louis, bringing together investors, Founders, business leaders, and civic champions who are shaping the future of our region. Each time I attend, I leave energized by the level of creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial momentum being built in our city. 

Event Details: 

·         Date: Friday, October 30 

·         Location: Union Station 

·         Entrepreneur Honoree: Bob O’Loughlin, Chairman & CEO of Lodging Hospitality Management (LHM)

·         Plus: 2026 Startup Cohort reveal + influential leaders from across the region

Since 2012, Arch Grants has funded 291 companies who are transforming the region’s economy through: 

·         4,000+ jobs created in St. Louis

·         $293M+ in local wages paid 

·         $895M+ in capital raised 

·         $1.3B+ in revenue generated

This growth is driven by a community that believes in what St. Louis can become. Here’s a short video highlighting the energy and impact of the NeXus Gala.  

I’ve also attached the sponsorship brochure outlining opportunities and benefits at each level. I’d love for you/your organization to consider being part of this year’s celebration and supporting the continued growth of St. Louis’ entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Please let me know if you’d like to connect further or have any questions.
