A follow-up post, from after the event: After Startup Connection 2018
The annual Startup Connection is happening in downtown St. Louis tomorrow (2018-11-07). I thought I'd do a bit of recon like I did for the recent Startup Talent Showcase because it's interesting to learn more about what's going on in the area—and there is a lot going on, you just have to know where to look.
I took the list of companies provided by Startup Connection and made a big table with information for each company, plus external links (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Crunchbase) on Google Sheets: Startup Connection 2018.
(If you're behind a firewall, here's a PDF version: startup-connection-2018.pdf)
Perhaps you'd like to follow those companies on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Here are some links to posts on those platforms that will make it easier to follow them rather clicking all the links in that table (i.e., on the Facebook and LinkedIn links, mouseover each link to bring up a popup to follow each, etc.):
- List of company Facebook pages: part 1, part 2
- List of company LinkedIn pages
- Twitter list: Startup Connection 2018
Bonus: some information from Startup Connection 2017 that I must not have posted here to the site last year:
- Twitter list: Startup Connection 2017
- List of company LinkedIn pages
