CET Square One (SQ1) is a training program offered by the Center for Emerging Technologies (CET) in St. Louis. It is designed to support early-stage and first-time entrepreneurs developing businesses in bioscience, information technology, or advanced manufacturing.

The program offers two options:

SQ1 Ignite: A shorter 4-week program focused on business model validation. It introduces entrepreneurs to the local ecosystem, challenges them to test their business assumptions, and helps them identify their next steps.

SQ1 Boot Camp: An in-depth 10-week program that combines formal instruction with hands-on learning, networking, and mentoring. Participants work on developing their business model, financials, investor pitch deck, and more.

Both programs aim to equip entrepreneurs with the knowledge, skills, and connections needed to launch and grow successful businesses in high-growth industries.
