St. Louis has worked to establish itself as a tech hub, but much of the attention goes to startups and billion-dollar enterprises. Lost in the middle are established tech firms generating $1-100 million annually that quietly drive job growth and innovation.

Host Erik Siemers speaks with TechSTL CEO Emily Hemingway and T-Kartor CEO Simon Bailey about the organization's new focus on these mid-market companies. They discuss why this sector offers the stability St. Louis needs, how AI is reshaping tech jobs, and why bridging startups, mid-market firms, and large enterprises could unlock new opportunities for the region.
