MN Cup is a startup competition and hub to direct mentorship, education and seed capital to the best new ventures in Minnesota. Our process leverages volunteer judges with industry and functional expertise in each of our nine divisions. Ten companies in each division will be selected by these judges to move forward into the semifinalist round, which will take place between May 23rd and August 12th. Two subsequent rounds will further narrow the participants, ending at our Final Award Ceremony on Monday, September 19th. Over $400,000 in prize money will be given away to competitors, with no equity taken or strings attached.
