At least, not for that amount of money. But maybe they can. The first step is to try.
- vnchr 15y agoWe do have the semblance of a startup community. It's very nacent, but hopefully this attracts more people. Anyone interested in hearing what's going on here, let me know. It's not overwhelming, but there's more than most people realize.
- tptacek 15y agoPlease note that I'm not saying STL shouldn't build a startup community. I'm a fan of startups hosting in the Midwest (for obvious reasons). I'm saying that grant programs like this might not be the way to get there; good startups can take money from lots of different places, so the STL grant program might be left with a bunch of business-plan-startups that couldn't get money from anywhere else.
