Our Goal

The goal of Start-Up Connection is to be a primary networking forum to introduce technology innovators and new IT and bioscience company owners to the entrepreneurial ecosystem 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.
