Are you launching or running a business in St. Louis, but get frustrated trying to find the resources you need to be successful? Well, you aren’t alone. The Ecosystem 101 event is a free, monthly program where the team at StartupSTL shares the St. Louis Business Roadmap to help you find the people, programs, and funding to grow.

During the event we will cover the following pieces:

• How to secure business funding? (Debt, Equity, Grants, and Crowdfunding)
• Who serves as mentors & advisors? (Seasoned Founders, Industry Experts, and Business Mentors)
• Which business development programs are coming up & when to apply? (Incubators, Accelerators, and Pitch Competitions)
• When events are happening & how to sign up? (Networking, Workshops, Bootcamps, and Retreats)
• Where can you access ongoing support in St. Louis? (Community Hubs, Navigators, and Service Providers)

StartupSTL is the new regional initiative to support the small business and entrepreneurial communities of the St. Louis Metro. To make it easier for area business owners to find the resources and support they need, we are hosting Ecosystem 101 every month, at different locations across the region starting with Heydays.

The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Please register prior to attending.
