MN approves $50m tax credit for early stage investment in high tech startups
- hockeybias 17y agoGreat!
- TrevorBurnham 17y agoI'm surprised I haven't heard of any seed accelerator programs in the Twin Cities yet. It's a great area to live in, and MN has some of the sanest governance to be found in the U.S.
- philcrissman 17y agoThere are a few things going on here; I just submitted another story about a very micro seed capital program (minnespark) that was just launched by part of the local tech community: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1230144 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1230144 There's also the Minnesota Cup; I haven't heard many success stories emerging from it, but I haven't looked into it very hard, either: http://breakthroughideas.org/ http://breakthroughideas.org/ There's a great tech community in & around the Twin Cities, and definitely more and more interest and activity toward building a startup culture in this area. Cool stuff is going on.
- datsro 17y agoIt helps that we now boast three YC companies: SocialBrowse, FanChatter and Zencoder.
- code_duck 17y agoGreat, now if Duluth gets picked for the Google Fiber trial (which so many people here are rooting for!) we'll be all set!
- artpop 17y agoGreat if you want to freeze your arse off. When I was there it was 30 below. But still, the people are nice.
