VISION

Minnesota is the best place in the world to start ventures, solve problems, and scale impact.

MISSION

We accelerate growth by inclusively connecting and proudly celebrating the individuals and organizations growing Minnesota ventures, and we equip these partners with tools to measure progress and dream bigger together.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

• We believe collaboration is necessary, because no individual or organization leads an ecosystem
• We embrace economic diversity as a strength, because new and scaling ventures include tech, but also food, health care, retail, finance, and much more
• We intentionally prioritize inclusion, because people drive our success, and we acknowledge the inequities that exist among people in our community
• We operate with open networks, because the best idea can come from anywhere, and work to drive communities forward should be transparent and clear
• We celebrate each other, because the success of one individual or organization in Minnesota is a win for everyone when it advances our goals
• We track our performance, because the measures that matter to our partners may differ, but we value shared understanding of where we are today, and where we are headed
