Meet NEER - AI for Water Systems Management | Geospatial Arch Grants Series T-REX BYTES

    • Entrepreneurship

The 2020 Arch Grants cohort included a bold and unprecedented element. Building upon St. Louis' geospatial revolution, 5 of their transformative $50,000 equity-free grants & pro-bono resources were awarded specifically to geospatial startups. Partnering with T-REX's new Geospatial Innovation Center, these 5 geospatial startups have also been awarded incubator space for the duration of their grant, embedding them within our growing geospatial ecosystem. Each month through this virtual event series, you'll get the opportunity to get to know the 2020 geospatial Arch Grants cohort and the newest T-REX community members.



This March, T-REX's Mark Tatgenhorst will introduce and host a community conversation with Elango Thevar, Founder & CEO of NEER.
