Join us in Minnetonka for our monthly pop-up series designed to bring expert business support directly into communities across Hennepin County. Whether you're launching a new venture or growing an existing business, these events offer a chance to connect face-to-face with professional consultants, Business Navigators, and city economic development staff all at no cost.

No appointments needed, just show up and get connected.

MCCD (Metropolitan Consortium of Community Developers)

Professional consultants from MCCD will be onsite to offer up to 30 minutes of business support per business at the Minnetonka Thriving Thursday. MCCD provides business advising services and access to low-cost capital for entrepreneurs and business owners who have been locked out of traditional banking institutions, with a focus on Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), low-wealth individuals, women and other marginalized groups. They specialize in accounting advisory services, business strategy support, and advice for idea-stage entrepreneurs looking to start a business and develop a business plan.
