In this episode CEO Christina Hawatmeh reads an article by Nicki‘s Central West End Guide about the year time stopped the launch at Left bank books in Saint Louis, Missouri. In June, Left Bank Books held a book signing for St. Louis native Christina Hawatmeh, one of the few in-person author events held since the pandemic began. Coincidentally, the pandemic is precisely what Hawatmeh's book is about. The Year Time Stopped, The Global Pandemic in Photos, features 200 photographs from around the world depicting the beauty and the turbulence of 2020. Hawatmeh, who grew up in West County, now divides her time between New York and L.A. After earning her graduate degree at Columbia University, she was unable to find funding for her start-up idea in New York. She then applied for a St. Louis-based Arch Grant, and in 2015 was awarded $50,000 to build Scopio, a community-based image marketplace, where people around the world share their photographs and stories. “Anyone, anywhere can share images and get hired for their creative skills on Scopio in less than 3 minutes.” To date, 15,000 photographers from 193 countries have posted 1,000,000 photographs on the site. The photographs can be purchased as “high-quality, authentic images, and as NFTs (non-fungible tokens).” Since the launch of Scopio, Hawatmeh has been recognized as the first woman to create an NFT photography marketplace. She was also featured in Business Insider and Forbes Magazine, and finally got that N.Y. recognition she missed out on earlier, when New York Finance named her one of 2021's “Top Entrepreneurs to Follow.” A book wasn't in the plans for Hawatmeh and Scopio CPO Nour Chamoun, but to their surprise their large social media presence attracted the attention of publisher Harper Collins, and so they forged ahead. They sifted through thousands of photographs to find the best that told the story of the tumultuous year. Their book offers “an unforgettable visual history that captures the world's response to major events that defined 2020— from COVID to sweeping movements for racial and social justice.” (Here is a link to portions of the book accompanied by audio from the photographers.)...

The 2020 Arch Grants cohort included a strategic and unprecedented element. In an effort to continue to build upon St. Louis' geospatial revolution, 5 of their transformative $50,000 equity-free grants & pro-bono resources were awarded specifically to geospatial startups. Partnering with T-REX's new Geospatial Innovation Center, these 5 geospatial startupshave also been awarded incubator space for the duration of their grant, embedding them within our growing geospatial ecosystem. Each month through this virtual event series, you'll get a chance to get to know the 2020 geospatial Arch Grants cohort and newest T-REX community members. This January, T-REX's Mark Tatgenhorst hosts a community conversation with Byron Porter, CEO of Hum. About Hum: Hum was created to tackle chronic issues of inconsistent and unreliable service that have plagued the rail industry for decades. Inflexible existing data infrastructure frequently loses track of railcars and makes first and last mile delivery unpredictable. Mechanical defect detectors often provide more false alarms than actual alerts. Both systems have been unable to adapt to the needs of an increasingly dynamic supply chain, leaving railroads and rail shippers frustrated. Now, with advances in low power, wireless communication, geospatial tracking, and advanced analytics, Hum has developed a set of cost-effective wireless sensors for railcars that allows railroads the ability to not only deliver transparent, reliable service to rail shippers but also the insight to anticipate their ever-changing needs. Welcome to the modern supply chain that just … Hums. humindustrial.com About Arch Grants: Arch Grants disrupted the status quo of economic development in 2012 with a mission to transform the economy of St. Louis by attracting and retaining extraordinary entrepreneurs.
