Venture Café St. Louis is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit whose goal is to enhance and accelerate innovation in the Greater St. Louis area.
Our mission is to broaden, connect, and support the innovation community through a public network of spaces and programs to help anyone with an idea succeed. Our vision is to connect entrepreneurs, communities, and organizations into one tightly woven successful innovation network.
Our flagship program — the Thursday Gathering — is located in the CIC St. Louis at 4240 Duncan Ave. in the Cortex district. During this weekly event, the space is used exclusively for events that are free and open to the community and that are in line with the organization’s mission to connect innovators to make things happen.
Coming Fall 2018, Venture Cafe St. Louis will be launching Innovation Hall STL, a civic innovation center. It is a gathering place for all kinds of entrepreneurs - an event space for all to connect and get things done with no barriers to entry. The space is located on the first floor of the new 4220 Duncan building, just east of @4240 where we host the weekly Thursday Gathering.
