25 different early stage tech companies flocked to CoCo last weekend for an opportunity to tell their story and secure a seat at Minnesota’s first tech accelerator this summer.
Today, Project Skyway announced the final eight ‘skywalkers’ who will be participating in Minnesota’s inaugural class, starting on August 1 at the new CoCo Minneapolis.
“It goes without saying that it was difficult to select our final companies from the 25 that participated in our recent Bootcamp Weekend,” said Cem Erdem, Founder of Project Skyway. “We were so thoroughly impressed by the passion and drive all our campers demonstrated throughout the weekend. However, I am confident the final companies we selected represent the values and principles we outlined when we started Project Skyway last October.”
