St. Louis Arch Angels

The St. Louis Arch Angels is a network of accredited investors who fund early-stage businesses across the St. Louis region. Our members have opportunities to attain outstanding financial returns while helping new ventures prosper and achieve market leadership. They invest their money, time, expertise, and experience. Each year, we host 10 meetings at which our members connect with entrepreneurs and consider investing in their companies. WHO WE FUND The St. Louis Arch Angels invest in high-potential start-up ventures that offer exceptional opportunities for high returns. We generally invest in companies that we believe have the potential to grow to $10 million or more in annual revenue within five years. Our members provide seed and early-stage capital in an investment range considered too early by most venture capitalists. By the same token, because our members invested early, we generally enjoy preemptive rights that allow us to invest alongside the venture capitalists in later-stage investment rounds for these same companies. We follow a formal screening process to evaluate potential investment opportunities to bring to our members. This involves evaluating businesses based on management team, business plan, market opportunity, growth potential, intellectual property protection, and other factors.
