Arch Grants

The Arch Grants Global Startup Competition draws hundreds of applications from around the region, around the country, and around the world.

With an industry-agnostic competition, we receive quality applications from nearly every industry/market imaginable. Because of the span of our applications, having a diversified pool of experienced judges from a variety of backgrounds is crucially important to achieving our goal of attracting, selecting, and retaining top entrepreneurial talent. When a new Arch Grants cohort is announced, you can know that it was the expert community that helped to choose these businesses and invited them to set up shop in St. Louis. The time commitment required from an Arch Grants Judge is variable.  You may put in as much or as little time, so long as you are qualified to evaluate early-stage venture applications.
