TCB Talks: Minnesota Capital Forum

A featured event of the 2026 Twin Cities Startup Week. 

Minnesota has the raw ingredients for a startup boom: Fortune 500 headquarters, world-class research institutions, and no shortage of ambitious founders. So why do we keep losing ground on job growth and available capital to smaller markets we should be beating? That's the question at the center of TCB Talks: Minnesota Capital Forum.

Twin Cities Business brings venture capital leaders, corporate executives, and the founders building tomorrow's companies into one room to discuss how to unlock $1 billion in new startup capital and build the economic engine for Minnesota's next generation.

You'll hear where local venture capital really stands, what thriving markets are doing right, and how we level up here at home. Plus, hear from founders building Minnesota's future and the investors betting on them, in a showcase of the emerging companies that could define our next generation of growth.
