Anders Releases Inaugural Startup Funding and Outlook Survey Report 
St Louis, Anders CPAs + Advisors (Anders) celebrates the release of the firm’s inaugural Startup Funding and Outlook Survey Report. The report analyzes responses from two surveys designed by the Anders Startup and Entrepreneurial Services team and distributed to startup founders and startup funding sources across the St. Louis region.  
The survey’s intended goal was to determine the health of the St. Louis startup ecosystem amid economic challenges like high interest rates, rising inflation and ongoing COVID-19 recovery efforts. Results from the survey have been compiled into a single, comprehensive report that gives a concise overview of where the startup community is today and what it needs to thrive. Included alongside these data points are trends identified by Anders advisors and commentary from survey participants.

Top insights from the report include: 

•    Top factors attracting startups and funding sources to St. Louis
•    What startups blame for difficulties in the fundraising process
•    How area investors’ investment decisions have been impacted by economic factors
•    The characteristics investors value most in startups and their founders
