StartMN think tank

Join us on November 13 as the founders of four Twin Cities startups ranging from packaged foods to medtech take the stage to share their big ideas, and a business challenge that’s holding them back. A panel of expert advisors in investing, marketing, and scaling will offer real-time advice designed to help our featured startups, and anyone building a business. Come for the learning, networking, and to cheer on local companies with mass potential.

In addition to the pitch program, take advantage of local startup resources: representatives from Launch Minnesota and Beta will be on hand to answer questions. And taste, smell, and shop several locally made brands including Brother Justus Whiskey Co., Leather Works Minnesota, Blue Heron Body Home’s all-natural soaps, candles, and gifts, locally made by a chemist and business coach, and Made in Minn apparel. Minneapolis creative agency Latitude will showcase its latest project, customizable Gratitude x Latitude apparel that benefits local arts organizations. Come photo-ready: Profeshie will be on hand to offer professional headshots—free for all attendees.
