LaunchPad 725 Impact Showcase
About This Event
The LaunchPad 725 Impact Showcase is the capstone event for the inaugural cohort of TechArtista Foundation's six-month accelerator program supporting underrepresented and impact-driven entrepreneurs in St. Louis County. Ten founders. One evening. Each will take the stage to share what they've built, what shifted during the program, and one specific ask of the audience. After presentations wrap, founders will host tables during a reception where you can continue the conversation directly.
