Many St. Louis startups launched by students at WashU put down roots here, others move away to flourish elsewhere. Dave Nicklaus reports in The St. Louis Post-Dispatch on alumni who have decamped to opposite coasts but retain an appreciation for the affordable and supportive startup community in St. Louis.

Examples of Fresh Prints t-shirt designs

Jolijt Tamanaha, A&S 2015, Jacob M. Goodman, BSBA 2015, and Joshua E. Arbit, BSBA 2013 (pictured above) of Fresh Prints are featured in the article. Sasha G. Sherman, BSBA 2011, was one of the original founders of the company that makes customized t-shirts for university organizations.

“It was Washington U. and St. Louis that really enabled us to get our business off the ground,” Goodman says. “In New York, we would have been just another tiny fish in an enormous pond. In St. Louis, getting access to people and resources was easier.”
