The St. Louis Business Journal is showing its readers snippets of the weekly Domain Tech Report, which is produced by Techli, a St. Louis-based startup that came to town after it received a $50,000 Arch Grant in 2012.

The Domain Tech Report is hosted by entrepreneur Ed Domain, who interviews a variety of St. Louis-based startup founders, investors or others who play a role in the innovation community.

This week, Domain's guest is Donn Rubin, president of BioSTL, the St. Louis organization cultivating medical and plant bioscience companies that recently launched a new initiative aimed at bringing early-stage Israeli companies to St. Louis.

BioSTL has an annual budget of about $7 million, due in large part to a $30 million commitment over five years from Washington University, BJC HealthCare and others to support entrepreneurs in bioscience. A majority of that money flows to the BioGenerator, a subsidiary of BioSTL, for company investment.
