In 2012 visionary St. Louis leaders launched an innovative program to help St. Louis attract and fund startup companies known as Arch Grants. Arch Grants has funded more than 200 companies many of which have made their homes here in St. Louis permanently. After five years as Director of Development and Operations at Arch Grants, Gabe Angieri assumes the chair of Executive Director. He’s in charge of continuing to build on the non-profit’s mission of entrepreneurship and inclusion. HEC Media President Dennis Riggs sat down with Gabe to discuss his plans for Arch Grants and his own personal journey.
