Seventy companies are headed to Washington University in November for St. Louis’ largest event for early-stage startups: Startup Connection. Over a third of these companies are founded or supported by WashU alumni, faculty and students.

Startup Connection will be held in Olin’s Knight Hall and Bauer Hall on Wednesday, Nov. 18 beginning at 5 p.m. Registration required.

The event gives St. Louis’s top startups the opportunity to present their companies to a packed house of entrepreneurs, investors, and other members of the innovation community.
