About us
Launch Minnesota is a new initiative spearheaded by Minnesota's Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). Designed in consultation with legislators from both parties, and alongside dozens of private sector leaders, the program exists to help grow Minnesota's startup ecosystem. Launch Minnesota will start inside of DEED, and will work with our advisory board and private sector stakeholders to become a public-private organization in the future.

Check out this great opportunity for app development assistance in Southeast MN! 💻 🚀
We’re working on a new program funded in part by Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development for Southeast Minnesota in partnership with Prime Digital Academy - an affordable app development “software studio” to help startups build a prototype or minimum viable product (MVP) so that they can start testing their idea with customers and bring in revenue before going out for a funding round. Like any good startup, we are doing customer discovery for our first cohorts. Any organizations that are located (or have a business address) in Southeast Minnesota who need help with an affordable prototype or MVP for their idea can learn more about the program and fill out an in-take survey here: https://lnkd.in/g7Xb-uDe #entrepreneurship #smallbusiness #startup #sbdc #owatonna #oabdc #economicdevelopment #mnsbdc #innovation #costarters #linkinbio #innovation #design #designthinking #designsprint #southeastminnesota
