Our Supporters | Minnestar

Invest in the Community

As our community grows, we’re looking to build our resources so that we can put on better events…and more of them!

That’s where Community Supporters come in.

We are committed to making Minnebar and Minnedemo free for everyone. If you would like to say “Thank you” for the work that Minnestar does, become a Community Supporter! Our supporters help us grow, which in turn grows the Minnesota tech and startup community. Best of all, you’ll get a really sweet perk: priority registration for our events!

Benefits for your tax-deductible contribution include:

  • Priority registration for our events for a year (if you contribute $100 or more)
  •  Recognition on our website and at events
  • Ability to help us “beta test” new ideas and new events

Supporter Spotlight

“Minnestar is one of the first groups I recommend to people new to the area or to tech. Presenting at Minnedemo and having an entire room of friends applauding my work is a highlight of my career. Minnebar is a great conference for catching up on what people are building, and a great, low-pressure way to talk about the technology I love.”
