SixThirty

SixThirty provides fintech startups with up to $100K in funding, mentors, and connections to the top financial services companies in the country. Backed by the St. Louis Regional Chamber and venture capital firm Cultivation Capital, SixThirty selects two cohorts per year of financial-based technology startup companies. The selected companies receive funding and take part in the four-month accelerator program during which the startups receive hands-on training, mentoring, and networking opportunities with the top financial services companies in the region. Why St. Louis? St. Louis is one of the largest financial services hubs outside of New York. It’s home to Edward Jones, Scottrade, Stifel Nicolaus, and US Bankcorp CDC, Wells Fargo Advisors, and boasts one of the most dynamic, explosive startup communities in the country. Why SixThirty? 630 is both the height and width of the Gateway Arch measured in feet, and was selected as the name of the accelerator to highlight the strength of its financial services sector.
