About Us

Stories move us and connect us. They can teach us something new, and inspire us.

The stories that we tell highlight the community and culture that make St. Louis a great place to live and work. Subscribe to our once-monthly newsletter to get the latest stories in your inbox.

Have an idea for an STLMade story?

We’d love to hear it: send it in here. You can also reach us at at editor@thestl.com.

STLMade is a movement within the St. Louis metro that shines a light on the amazing things our innovative, tenacious, big-hearted people are doing. It’s supported by a region-wide collaboration of residents, local leaders, institutions, organizations, businesses big and small, and nonprofits helping to tell our story – that St. Louis is a place where you can start up, stand out and stay.

Greater St. Louis Inc.

The STLMade movement is an initiative of Greater St. Louis, Inc., which brings together business and civic leaders to create jobs and opportunities, expand inclusive economic growth and improve St. Louis’ global competitiveness.

Learn more about Greater St. Louis, Inc.’s STL 2030 Jobs Plan, which guides the vision and strategies fueling growth across our region.

Join the movement: Use #STLMade to see the good and share the love.

Follow us on social media for all the stories you didn’t know that you didn’t know about the people who make us proud to call this place home.

And when you see people or ideas in your community, your workplace, on the street, wherever, doing things that make you proud of where you live, share it with us and everyone else by posting it with #STLMade on social.

STLMade Toolkit

#STLMade belongs to all of us. We encourage you to use #STLMade elements to communicate the movement your way. Logos, phone screens, Zoom backgrounds and more are available here.
