We provide free feedback on early business ideas through Idea Support, free grants and mentoring through the BALSA Grant, and written guidance with the Entrepreneur's Roadmap.
The BALSA Foundation's mission is to promote social equity and prosperity in the St. Louis region by empowering first-time entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses. We fulfill this mission by (1) maintaining an online, step-by-step guide to starting a business, (2) providing free feedback from experts to anyone with a business idea, (3) providing cash grants, mentorship, and donations of professional services to first time entrepreneurs who need and will benefit from them the most.
