Notice of BRAND Closure

Over 9 years ago, we started BRAND of St. Louis because we were passionate about connecting and empowering small business owners in St. Louis. Throughout the years, we've grown from a resource newsletter to in-person workshops to being able to offer cash rewards and grants to support entrepreneurs through the Startup League Rewards Program.

In that time, so much has changed, including our recent relocation away from St. Louis. And while our love for the community we've built and fostered in St. Louis is still strong, our capacity to continue in the way we did previously is no longer sustainable. That is why we've made the difficult decision to shut down the BRAND of St. Louis business.

While will continue to operate in a limited capacity under BRAND Foundation, our nonprofit entity, we will be wrapping up our programming and grant activities, including the Startup League Rewards Program and grant reporting. We will be in touch with Startup League members in the coming weeks with more details and deadlines, so keep an eye out for more information.

Saying goodbye is bittersweet, but change is a necessary reality of life and business. It has truly been a pleasure to serve and collaborate with amazing organizations, businesses, and individuals. We thank you all for your support and interest in the work we've done.
