Mine
Cortex is both a geographic district and a non-profit.The Cortex Innovation Community was developed as a 200 acre innovation district located four miles from downtown St.Louis in the city’s Central West End.The master developer for the district is a 501(C)(3) non-profit called Cortex that oversees the development of the Cortex Innovation Community.The nonprofit is led by a board comprised of the five St.Louis anchor institutions who founded Cortex—Washington University in St.Louis, BJC HealthCare, Saint Louis University, Missouri Botanical Garden and the University of Missouri-St.Louis.In 2002, four of the anchor institutions pledged $29 million in equity to acquire land for the new district.This patient capital, along with powers granted by city government that include eminent domain and land use control, allowed Cortex to strategically buy limited properties within the district while defining the future use of every parcel.The nonprofit’s primary focus is on district-wide curation, placemaking and supporting innovators with the programming they need.Lab space, greenspace, event space, and co-working space creates innovation through what long-term director Dennis Lower calls “serendipitous collisions” of smart people and new ideas.
Network
Cortex’s Boat Network functionality will allow Cortex to use an existing on board wireless router to make it simpler for users to use Cortex with their phones and tablets.

The development of Cortex is now a global success story of a booming tech hub created from scratch in a former industrial area of a weak market city.The operational purchases of Cortex and its 369 company tenants generated over $1 billion dollars in direct impact for the St.Louis region in 2018.When you look at the indirect and induced economic ripple effects of spending by employees working within the District, that number doubles.In 2018 Cortex generated $69.6 million in state and local tax revenues for the year.This is particularly noteworthy given that Cortex is a Tax Increment Financing District authorized to use future tax revenue resulting from new development in the district to finance redevelopment projects or infrastructure investments.Cortex has used $110 million of the maximum authorized $167.7 million in city tax dollars to support infrastructure and real estate projects to date.As the 23-year TIF expires and property values continue to increase, Cortex is projected to generate over $476 million in new tax revenue over the next thirty years.Since 1998, Cortex has constructed over 2 million square feet of development with investment exceeding $700 million.At the time of this analysis the Cortex district included 369 companies with over 5780 employees.Why was Cortex formed?

Why Prometheus?
As a CNCF developer advocate, I’ve had the opportunity to become closely acquainted both with the Prometheus community and with Prometheus as a tool (mostly working on docs and the Prometheus Playground).
Why Prometheus-as-a-Service?
Early on, Prometheus’ core engineers made the wise decision to keep Prometheus lean and composable.From the get-go, Prometheus was designed to do a small set of things very well and to work seamlessly in conjunction with other, optional components (rather than overburdening Prometheus with an ever-growing array of hard-coded features and integrations).
