When we started sketching out the exciting new vision for Twin Cities Startup Week 2025, we knew it had to revolve around two things: community and collaboration. Nothing represents those values better than two of our event pillars—regional representation and ESO partnership.
In Minnesota, innovation doesn’t stop at the edge of the metro. From the northern reaches of Duluth to the healthtech hub of Rochester, founders are building businesses, brainstorming bold ideas, and leveraging local programs to drive startup success statewide.
That’s exactly why every region of Minnesota will be represented at TCSW 2025.
We’re partnering with organizations and founders across the state to ensure this year’s event reflects the full range of Minnesota’s entrepreneurial energy. TCSW 2025 will showcase the state’s diverse startup landscape—because what a landscape it is!
If you’re part of an entrepreneurial organization in Greater Minnesota, we want to hear from you. Help us shine a spotlight on your region. And if you’re a founder in Greater Minnesota, know one thing—TCSW 2025 is for you.
Innovation isn’t an island. Minnesota’s startup ecosystem shines brightest when we’re working together, and that’s why we’re proud to be partnering with entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) to curate the founder-focused content of TCSW 2025.
With the insight, expertise, and collaboration of these organizations, this year’s programming is set to be our most impactful yet. Each partner brings a unique perspective and experience, helping shape a content lineup that reflects Minnesota’s greatest strengths.
If you’re part of an ESO, there’s still time to get involved. Join us in building an amazing experience for founders across the state.
