Essence

We are a passionate group of technology enthusiasts on a mission to serve Minnesota’s high tech ecosystem and the early stage ventures within it. Through a mix of unique audio/video features and written word, we create original Minnesota high tech news and curate relevant local news from outside sources. When combined with Minnesota’s most comprehensive calendar of high tech/entrepreneur events, the deepest database of Minnesota high tech companies (including 200 +/- startups) and industry employment opportunities — the result is an exhaustive resource for those who care about what’s happening in Minnesota’s high tech community on a regular basis.

TECHdotMN is a for-profit social venture, whereas a large percentage of gross revenues are donated to initiatives that aim to bridge the urban digital divide in Minnesota. See BRIDGEdotMN for more details.

Success

Success is measured to the degree by which we (a) increase awareness and visibility about what’s happening in Minnesota’s startup community, (b) foster efficient & quality relationships amongst like-minded individuals, and (c) deliver actionable data, insights and intelligence designed to arm the entrepreneur and decision maker alike.

Input

We look forward to connecting with anyone genuinely interested in supporting the advancement of high technology within Minnesota. Ideas, propositions, feedback, leads, etc., are always welcome—off the record unless otherwise mutually agreed upon. As TECHdotMN evolves, please let us know how and where we can be of greater value!
