About the list:

The Startups to Watch program each year identifies a new group of up-and-coming startup companies in St. Louis that are best positioned for growth. Nominations are submitted by local community members. The startups are then chosen through an independent editorial review, with selections based entirely on their merits, achievements and contributions to their organizations and local community. Commercial interests with the St. Louis Business Journal are not considered. Review panels may be comprised entirely of St. Louis Business Journal leadership, or in combination with outside judges determined by the news department. The St. Louis Business Journal editorial leadership has final say and approval for all awards and honorees.
