With the help of our sponsors, Minnestar strives to connect, foster, and develop the technology community in Minnesota. Over 12,000 technologists have attended our events since the organization was founded in 2006. Our community includes the leaders, innovators, and builders who make things happen. Investing in Minnestar invests in the future of technology innovation in Minnesota.
As a sponsor, you will help support growth of Minnesota’s highly educated, tech-savvy audience of individuals that earn good money and who also appreciate emerging ideas, thought leadership, technology, and fresh points of view. Many of these people are entrepreneurs or wish to become entrepreneurs; others are leaders in their companies and organizations. They are or will be seeking professional services to aid them in developing their ideas, growing their ventures, and launching their products.
We receive high marks from our attendees, but we know we can do more with your generous support. We hope to provide better venues, amazing food and drink (especially from local producers), professionally recorded sessions and demos for distribution online, an improved web presence and online community, and even increase the number of events per year. These become the foundation of the growing community that you will help us build.
