The mission of the St. Louis Arch Angels is to provide opportunities for our members to obtain outstanding financial returns by investing in early-stage companies with high growth potential in the St. Louis Region and accelerating them to market leadership.

The Arch Angels is a part of the region’s seed to later stage equity capital continuum and are targeting an investment range that is generally underserved by institutional venture capital firms. The Arch Angel network is an important component of the region’s capacity to finance innovation emerging from our universities and research institutes, companies, and technology incubators.

FTL Capital is a private investment firm representing the interests of its Managing Partner, Thomas Hillman. We focus on partnering with managers and entrepreneurs to execute on their strategic visions and build long term value. We have no set investment horizon and continue to own the first business we acquired over 10 years ago. Our approach is straight forward, people come first. The potential to have “true significance” in the lives of our investment’s key constituencies—employees, customers, and community, is what drives us today.

Regional Growth Capital facilitates business growth through unique financing. While many alternative financing options require the surrender of equity, Regional Growth Capital provides investments without taking an ownership interest.

Regional Growth Capital serves the entire St. Louis/ Illinois region, and is owned by 33 banks, St. Louis Economic Development Partnership, St. Louis Development Corporation, and the Economic Development Center of St. Charles County.

Through $100,000 in funding, world class mentoring and support, and the agriculturally solid framework of St. Louis, Missouri, selected companies will participate a 9 month cohort preparing them to penetrate agricultural markets. We are excited to be doing our part to help make St. Louis the gateway city to a more food secure future.
