In this economy, you can either invest time into finding a job(if you don’t already have one) or you can take the route of building up your own business. The City of St. Louis is starting to thrive as a city in ways that it hasn’t done in such a long time. This means new restaurants, clubs, businesses and entertainment. The perfect time for someone to take advantage and launch a business that it’s city could begin to benefit from.  St. Louis entrepreneur, and CEO Gabe Lozano sat out with a goal to raise a little money.  He said he needed to raise $1 million from local investors as part of an overall fund-raising round of between $5 million and $10 million. Today, LockerDome announced that it has hit the St. Louis part of its goal with $1.04 million of new capital from the St. Louis Arch Angels, Cultivation Capital, Capital Innovators, Missouri Technology Corp. and several individual investors. To date, the company has raised over $2 million dollars. While this is a great success story for this young entrepreneur, I’m sure you’re probably still confused about what exactly Locker Dome does, so here’s a brief explanation below:
