StartupSTL Night

StartupSTL Night
Powered by TechSTL – The St. Louis Hub for High-Growth Founders

StartupSTL is the new go-to gathering for startup energy, strategy, and opportunity in the St. Louis region. Hosted bi-monthly by TechSTL, this dynamic evening event brings together founders, funders, and the broader innovation community to explore what it takes to build and scale high-growth companies.

At the heart of each StartupSTL Night is a mix of hands-on programming, insider resources, and exclusive showcases to support every stage of your entrepreneurial journey:

???? Mock Angels (Private Member-Only Session) – A behind-closed-doors pitch practice session where two TechSTL member founders receive direct feedback from seasoned investors and business experts.

???? Founders Unplugged (Monthly Feature) – A live, candid interview with one of St. Louis’s most inspiring founders, sharing real stories from their journey — the wins, the pivots, and the lessons learned.

???? DevLAB Showcase & Matchmaking – Business owners looking to build technical systems can connect with developers, designers, and analysts from our DevLAB program for project collaborations.

???? BuildIT Bootcamps & TeXpert Spotlights – Practical workshops for business owners to grow their technical skills, enhance thought leadership, and integrate tech systems that scale. Whether you’re a non-technical founder or a seasoned pro, these sessions help you stay ahead of the curve.

???? Startup Ecosystem Network & Resources – Hear the latest on upcoming accelerators, pitch competitions, grant applications, and ecosystem programs so you never miss an opportunity to grow.

Whether you’re raising capital, building your MVP, expanding your network, or hiring your first team — StartupSTL Night is where the region’s founders come to get real traction.

The event is free and open to the public. Speakers and Mock Angel participants are TechSTL members.
