Groove Pitch Series

Join us at our fall pitch event. We heard from angels that they want more opportunities to look at local deals together. So let's do it! 

We’ll hear pitches from local startups from a variety of industries, showcasing a great cross-section of Minnesota's ecosystem. The pitches will be short and quippy, with plenty of time to network with other early-stage investors and directly meet the founders. But this isn't a pageant, showcase, or competition (no participation ribbons here!)...these are real opportunities.
