Missouri entrepreneurs launching technology companies face a funding
gap after seed and angel funding. Cultivation Capital is filling that gap by
making investments up to $1 million into high-growth technology

by key ecosystem partners including startup accelerator Capital
Innovators and grant program Arch Grants which are seeding new

The growing base of technology companies including software, internet,
mobile, data, security, and cloud, present a viable opportunity for follow-
on investment at all capital levels. Cultivation Capital’s team advises
entrepreneurs on positioning themselves for a path of continued
business development and funding at the next stages of growth.
Cultivation Capital believes the ecosystem will continue to grow and the
number of technology entrepreneurs with potential for success will
grow with it.
