3. Adalo

Adalo

Founded: 2018

Also honored in: 2022 Best Tech Startups in St. Louis

“We believe anyone one should be able to make an app, regardless of technical skill. Adalo is a platform that makes creating apps as easy as putting together a slide deck.

Creating web and mobile apps traditionally required learning how to code, finding a technical cofounder, or raising a lot of capital. For some, this means spending lots of precious time and money before they can get their idea off the ground. For others, this cost is simply too high and they walk away from their dream.

With Adalo, anyone can turn their idea into a real app — without having to hire expensive developers.”

4. Turing Medical

Founded: 2017

Also honored in: 2022 Best Tech Startups in St. Louis

“Every brain is unique, yet historically physicians were limited to treating brain disorders with a one-size-fits-all approach. Turing Medical’s advanced neuroimaging technologies and future software solutions have the potential to incorporate individual-specific connectivity and functional maps in treatment decisions. Turing’s future precision mapping approach seeks to individualize treatment selection and intervention targeting. With Turing maps and targets, physicians will be able to move beyond treating “the brain” to treating “your brain”.”

5. Intramotev

Founded: 2020

“Right now, countless tons of freight are stuck on choked highways across the nation, causing 433 million tons of carbon emissions from trucks annually. The average American sits in traffic for 8 working days of their year, and almost a million freight railcars sit idle every day in switching yards.

It’s time to set freight free. Not in ten years. Not in theoretical models. But tomorrow and on the safest, cleanest system we already have – by bringing American independent and autonomous thinking back to our rail network. We must shift the $10.3 trillion of goods trucked from our roads to our rails, saving lives, bringing industrial revitalization, and reducing the environmental impact of trucking that comprises over a quarter of our national transportation emissions.

We are ready.

Ready to deploy a fleet of TugVolt self-propelled battery-electric railcars that can move independently like a truck. Deploying now in captive, point-to-point use cases, then rapidly expanding to the existing network of 140,000 miles of existing track without additional infrastructure. Ready to bring the packetization that makes the internet hum to freight logistics. Ready to build on the legacy of our nation’s transportation strength right here in St. Louis, the gateway from East to West in the US.

We are Intramotev: Rail, Reborn & Ready To Roll.”
