Startup Resources in St Louis
St. Louis is becoming a great place to start and run a technology startup. There are some really good resources in St. Louis now for people interested in getting a startup running.
T-Rex, Home for St. Louis Startups
If you are working on your own idea for a startup or already have an early stage startup, then this is a great place to open your office. The office space is very affordable, more so than you would think. More important than the cheap space is being near so many other entrepreneurs. There are over 40 startups with an office currently at the T-Rex.
Find out more at the office web site:

I am only recently getting into the St. Louis startup scene, and I have much to explore. Visit the sites above and follow links to other startup resources. If you are running a startup in St. Louis and need a software developer to help get your project done, then please let me know. I am looking for opportunities to help others on their startup.
Disclaimer: I do not work for any of the companies listed on this page. I just think they do great work helping others.
