Get an instance of IAppBuilder elsewhere in my application during startup
<p>I'm attempting to do something very similar to what is being asked in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31915099/how-do-i-get-an-instance-of-iappbuilder-elsewhere-in-my-asp-net-mvc-5-2-3-applic">this question</a> except that I need access to the IAppBuilder instance during the startup process elsewhere in my code. </p>

<p>Using the solution in this answer does not appear to be possible, as the Owin context is not available during startup.</p>

<p>Can anyone offer an alternate approach?</p>
