Very exciting news for Intramotev! Saint Louis based proChain Ventures also participated. 😎 "Intramotev, a St. Louis-based company developing what it describes as a self-propelled, battery-powered railcar, has raised $14 million from investors as it plans to grow its staff in preparation for making several new deployments of its technology globally. The company said Wednesday that it closed the oversubscribed, Series A funding round, which was led by Flybridge Capital Partners and Alpaca VC, both New York-based, early-stage investment firms. Other investors in the round included Clayton-based Advantage Capital; Singapore-based Aera VC; Band Venture Partners of Calgary, Alberta; San Francisco-based Cantos, a previous investor; Cathcart Rail of Columbus, Ohio; New York-based Collide Capital; Decisive Point, based in New York; and Idealab Arizona in Phoenix. In addition to Cantos, Intramotev previously has been backed by investors including IdeaLabX and IdeaLab NY. Locally, Intramotev received a $50,000 grant from nonprofit Arch Grants in 2021."

Mark Cuban's keys to success to our intern class: curiosity, agility, and fit Curiosity - Technology is constantly changing. The best companies, engineers, and entrepreneurs continually learn and evolve. Agility - "When you run with elephants, there are the quick and the dead." Use startup efficiency to outperform the incumbents and look for opportunities to disrupt. Fit - Focus on fit in the workplace and seek out ways to reduce the stress of your teammates and managers. "When you reduce stress, no one wants to let you go. When you create stress, you're the first one out the door!" Mark recently spoke to our intern class, sharing his thoughts on developing an entrepreneurship mindset, the secret to startup success (hint: it's sales), and the importance of hard work, continual learning, and attention to detail. "How you do anything is how you do everything." Thank you for the insights Mark, and for helping REGENT grow even years after your early investment!
