Join us to celebrate the hard work all the 2019 Minnesota Cup competitors! Beginning in March, hundreds of entrepreneurs from across the state submitted an application, and throughout three rounds of judging and countless hours of mentorship, business plan refinement, video creation and pitch rehearsal, we've arrived at the last stage. We'd love to have you with us as we crown our Grand Prize Winner and award over $500,000 in total prize money to an exceptional group of companies.
