Great to see the excitement @LaunchMN kickoff event! Commissioner @grove should be commended for his leadership and work to restore MN tech greatness. Twin Cities growth in startup 1st financings (19%) NOT keeping up w/USA avg (69%) over the past 7 years. We will close this gap.

I'm thrilled to announce our #LaunchMN Advisory Board to @mndeed https://t.co/X6y2bKdoCq This extraordinary group of leaders will help us grow our startup ecosystem statewide through incentives, education, & outreach. Congratulations and welcome!

Honored to join @Tim_Penny at his @smifound entrepreneurship conference today. Great to see the momentum they are building in southern MN #LaunchMN

Thrilled to announce our @mndeed ED of Launch Minnesota, Neela Mollgaard! A proven leader in growing startup ecosystems, Neela will work w/ leaders across the state to grow MN's innovation economy. @GovTimWalz & I can't wait to work with her! https://t.co/W7axAkiJ0U #LaunchMN

We're excited to announce that our @LaunchMinnesota office will be @Osborn370 in St. Paul! @NeelaMollgaard & team will use the office as a base from which to work/travel across MN to grow this effort. We want #LaunchMN to live in the community rather than at @mndeed Come visit!
