Ven Caf 2015 preso deck (3)
This has been a heck of a year. Thanks to the support of the community and great partners, we've exceeded all our wildest dreams (and we had some pretty wild dreams). We launched as part of the larger Venture Cafe Foundation as the first expansion outside of the Boston area. Did you hear that, STL? This was the city in which Venture Cafe expanded. We've learned a lot this past year and we have a lot of learning still to do. As we grow, we are moving toward establishing Venture Cafe - STL as its own standalone nonprofit organization in St. Louis. We will still have an <a>advisory board</a> to help keep us connected to the various innovation sectors in the community, but we are also building a formal board of directors. Stay tuned for the announcement of the leaders assembled to provide strategic governance and stewardship of the Venture Cafe mission. Below is an online version of the State of the Cafe presentation shared during the Oct 1 Venture Cafe Gathering. If you'd like a more detailed report, we've also provided that. Let's have some fun and tackle global challenges at the local level. PDF: http://bit.ly/vencafstl15
