2021 MN Cup Semifinalists
May 24, 2021 — MN Cup is proud to announce the 88 companies moving forward to our Semifinal Round, the top finishers from each of our nine divisions. We had a record number of applications and participants in the first round of our process, and we’re grateful for the time and care offered by our volunteer division judges as they reviewed applications and offered feedback.
The following companies will move forward to create a pitch deck, summary business plan and one minute video while accessing mentorship and education throughout June and July. Ultimately, they’ll compete for a share of more than $400,000 cash prizes and gain the opportunity to accelerate their businesses with no equity taken in exchange.
During this 17th season of MN Cup, we’ll continue to offer the majority of our education and mentoring opportunities virtually for the safety and convenience of our competitors and volunteers. We will host a limited number of in-person gatherings to allow for networking. To stay up to date on the progress of our companies, follow @MinnesotaCup on Instagram and Twitter, and sign up for our newsletter here.
