BETA cohort 2025

Applications for the Fall 2025 BETA Cohort are officially open, and we’d love to see you (or someone in your orbit) apply. Whether you’re deep in the build phase or know a founder who could use community, coaching, and a platform — now’s the time to get on our radar.
 
What’s the BETA Cohort?
It’s a free, non-dilutive accelerator program that connects early-stage Minnesota tech startups with the resources, mentorship, and exposure they need to grow.
 
Over 11 weeks, participants will:

• Learn from experienced founders and subject-matter experts
• Build deep connections in Minnesota’s startup ecosystem
• Participate in the BETA Showcase during Twin Cities Startup Week
• Walk away with practical tools to take their company to the next level

When is it?
The Fall 2025 Cohort runs from August 27 to November 12, with sessions on Wednesdays from 9 AM to between 3 and 5 PM. Sessions are held in person at the Twin Ignition Keg House in Northeast Minneapolis
 
Applications close August 7 — so don’t wait too long.
