Message from the Executive Director

"Watching a founder receive an award from us to get their startup off the ground is why we do this work. Missouri has extraordinary research universities, visionary founders, and regional innovation hubs. Our mandate at MTC is to ensure that early-stage tech ventures have access to the risk capital and ecosystem support required to build world-changing companies right here in Missouri."

— Travis Fitzwater, Executive Director
