Arch Grants

Arch Grants disrupted the status quo of economic development in 2012 with a mission to transform the economy – in St. Louis and throughout the world – by attracting and retaining extraordinary entrepreneurs. Through our unique and groundbreaking annual Startup Competition model, we provide $75,000 equity-free grants and access to an ecosystem of resources, helping early-stage startups grow and scale. Our program is a beacon for entrepreneurs globally, developing the next generation of employers, civic leaders, and philanthropists for the St. Louis region. Join us. Entrepreneurship is a relentless pursuit. Those who risk it all to start something truly original are some of the bravest and the boldest among us. These believers and builders are at the core of what Arch Grants stands for: the unwavering spirit of big ideas and a community that rallies behind the entrepreneurs who pursue them. We champion the bold because we believe that together, we can create the future that we can now only imagine.
