MO Angel Investment Incentive Act (HB3231) - How will Angel Tax Credits Impact St. Louis Innovation?

Missouri lawmakers passed the Angel Investment Incentive Act, officially creating a statewide tax credit to stimulate early-stage startup investments. The program allows qualified investors to claim state income tax credits of 40% (or 50% in rural counties) of their cash investment in qualifying Missouri-based startups. But what does this mean for St. Louis entrepreneurs? TechSTL CEO, Emily Hemingway, sat down with Ben Johnson (NEXTMissouri President & BioSTL), David Weaver (Startup Attorney & AngeLAB Director), and Jim Malle (Policy Expert & Right to Start Manager) to discuss what this means for capital access across the Show Me State.
