OUR SHARED GOALS
The Forge North Leadership Council and founding partner organizations led the coalition in setting bold goals for the Minneapolis-Saint Paul region’s startup ecosystem. Our focus for the next three years is on:
- Early-stage Investment: to double the number of MSP-based ventures that report raising an early-stage round of capital
- Enterprise Participation: to ensure that 100% of MSP’s billion-dollar businesses make significant investment in the MSP startup community
- Racial Equity: to see leaders with an equity stake in MSP-based ventures reflect the region’s populations of Black, Indigenous, and people of color
If you’re working to advance these goals through your own organization or network, join your peers! There will be many ways to engage, participate, and contribute.
