Join 500 Startups Partner On Whirlwind Tour of St. Louis and St. Charles

Paul Singh, one of the original three partners of 500 Startups, is on a nationwide tour and will be visiting St. Louis and St. Charles.

Paul Singh, one of the original three partners of 500 Startups knows more than just a little bit about startups.

A startup founder himself (a few times over), he’s been on both sides of the table and has had his fair share of both successful exits and struggles past proof of concept. That’s just one of the many reasons why he knows startups and small businesses better than most others; and why they know him.

From 500 Startups to 500K Miles of Mentorship

In the last five years, he’s flown over 500,000 miles circling the globe, during which time raising tens of millions of dollars in venture funds, and investing in hundreds of companies. Most recently, Paul led the helm of the Crystal Tech Fund as well as Disruption Corporation, which was sold to DC-based incubator 1776 last year.

With some free time to plan what he’d do next, the entrepreneur downsized drastically; swapping out a single family home for a pickup truck and a tricked out, custom 30’ Airstream Classic travel trailer to visit the places where startups actually start (and grow) their businesses.

Singh In St. Louis

“The real goal of the Tech Tour is to bring functional expertise and venture capital dollars to parts of North America that don’t regularly get the same amount of attention as the well-known tech hubs” says Singh.

With 70 cities visited so far (and a few more on the way), the team at Venture Cafe St. Louis is hosting Paul during the week of August 22-24, 2017.

The tours will include free, and open to the public office hours at coworking spaces, “Lunch and Learn” workshops, breakfast events, investor dinners and a pitch event at the Arch organized by Arch Grants. During our Arch event, companies will be given a chance to pitch their company to Paul and the other investors as they ride to the top of the Arch.

The goal is not just to blow into town for a media blitzed, grip and grin panel, but to offer support, guidance and get deeply involved in the local scene through a week-long series of events and programs.
