VibeFest in St. Louis.
Cortex Innovation District
St. Louis has a deeper bench of trained engineers than the coastal narrative suggests — and the cost structure to actually build something with them.
Why St. Louis.
Between Wash U, SLU, the Cortex Innovation District, the legacy of Boeing/MasterCard/Ralcorp, and a fast-growing biotech scene around the BioGenerator, St. Louis has a real engineering ecosystem with a Midwest cost-of-living. AI tooling lands well here: there's plenty of legacy automation work to modernize, and the talent to maintain it. We'd love to run a VibeFest in St. Louis — let us know you'd come.
