“Aside from sharing the same first letter, “Mojo” and “Minnesota” are words that don’t seem to carry a lot in common, though that may soon change. The state is home to 19 Fortune 500 companies, a world class hospital and research center in Rochester, and Spam-what else do you need?-but the land of 10,000 lakes has long lacked competitive fire, the kind of risk hungry entrepreneur and investor that not only tolerates failure but embraces it.
Mindful of this, a group of entrepreneurs, lawyers, and investors have formed MOJO/minnesota, a grass roots group that wants to restore the state’s taste for risk and innovation. From advocating for the angel investment tax credit to finding the local Steve Jobs MOJO/minnesota hopes light a spark under the state’s proverbial rear end.”
