APPLY TO PRESENT AT MINNEDEMO41

New to Minnedemo? Here’s how it works:

  • 7-minute live demo (no slides!)
  • Demos are truly demos: you present your work or work-in-progress to the audience.
  • The audience includes thinkers, innovators, potential users, potential investors, and a supportive community.

Submitting is easy:
Just fill out our quick online application. Finalists will be invited to submit a short video for a final round of selection. We welcome tech projects of all sizes and stages — from solo side gigs to big company innovations — as long as they’re made here in Minnesota.
