Hi guys, I posted this just to see if there'd be a reaction--and wow, there has been. I do some community organizing in the startup scene (see StartLouis.com) in addition to some work with startup legal, funding and incubating. I'll get the Executive Director Sarah Spear to more directly comment to the HN community about this. Also, I'm pretty well informed now on what's going on with this initiative and related ones. Hit me up for questions.
Finally, please know that St. Louis, like any other place, contains diverse people with diverse goals. I have my own combination of concerns and confidence regarding Arch Grants. But bottom-line, it's a good thing and not a bad one. I'd love to chat about the concerns too. There's plenty of legit ones out there :)
