2021 Semifinalists Announced
Minnesota Cup (MN Cup)’s 2021 Semifinalists are official! We’re proud and excited to share the list of companies moving forward to the next round of our competition. These founders will have access to free education, mentorship, promotional opportunities and a share of over $400,000 in non-dilutive prize money. We received a record number of applications this season, and extend our sincere gratitude to our Division Judges for the hundreds of collective hours they contributed to reviewing applications and offering feedback to these teams of founders. They had a difficult time selecting which companies to advance among so many strong applicants.
