Minnesota Entrepreneurial Events Spotlight — April 8, 2022

Happy Friday, folks. It’s all blue skies as I glance out my window (well, not my window — I’m writing to you from a top secret coffee shop that’s definitely not in the Lyn/Lake neighborhood of Minneapolis…), but we all know it’s a lie. Spring is not here, as much as it pains me to write that. But it’ll all be green and sunshine and tulips and birdsong soon, right?

…maybe? Please?

Even though Mother Nature is giving Minnesota the cold shoulder for a bit longer, there’s plenty on the event calendar to keep the entrepreneurial fires burning.

But before we get to that, have you noticed the new coat of paint on tech.mn? We worked with our good friends at Denamico to build out a new and much snappier site, and we’re very happy with the results. There are still some loose screws to tighten, but you can be sure we’re working on them. If you have any thoughts, be sure to let us know.

Alrighty, enough chatter from me. Here are just a few highlights from the upcoming week (April 13 is stacked). Looking for more? Check out the full events calendar.
