Hmm, I moved here in October from the Northeast. I was (pleasantly) surprised by the diversity in STL and that doesn't just mean great ethnic restaurants, though large immigrant and refugee communities have resulted in some great eateries. This is a city focused on embracing diversity. There are countless individuals solely focused on multicultural initiatives within the government and within civic organizations. Arch Grants is one of those groups that seeks to embrace a multicultural pool of applicants and award recipients because we want the startups we fund to reflect the diversity of St. Louis that is thriving especially within the startup community.
