Abstract

This chapter explores the growth of the start-up tech entrepreneurial sector in the St. Louis region from the early 2000s to present day, highlighting its success in spite of a great deal of adversity. This sector of business development effectively leveraged very little resources in terms of intentional funding and support to create a bright spot for the St. Louis economy today. The burgeoning asset of entrepreneurial start-up growth in St. Louis creates a valuable resource upon which to build a Smart Cities initiative for the region that would greatly benefit the start-up community.
