Our Goal

The goal of Start-Up Connection is to be a primary networking forum to introduce new business innovators and new IT and bioscience company owners to the entrepreneurial eco-system in the greater St. Louis region.  Successful entrepreneurs know that in order to achieve success, having access to such people and networks - whether it be potential employees, advisors, financiers, mentors, customers, or service providers - is crucial.  
 
The innovators presenting their ideas and companies at Start-Up Connection are the people who create emerging technologies and applied science.  They are in the early stages of commercializing and marketing products that can change the way we live.
 
Start-Up Connection introduces these innovators to the people of the entrepreneurial eco-system in the St. Louis region who assist and enable these entrepreneurs along their path to success.

While Start-Up Connection is not a jobs fair, many start-ups ARE seeking talented, experienced people interested in sharing their expertise in a variety of business related areas.  Due to the nature of new companies, traditional compensation packages are not always offered.
