91 companies are moving forward to the MN Cup Semifinal Round, the top finishers from each of the nine divisions. 5 of the 10 semi-finalists in the Impact Ventures category are based in Saint Paul. Congratulations to these Saint Paul-based companies on becoming semifinalists:
Energy/Cleantech/Water

Impact Ventures
The Impact Ventures division supports Minnesota’s social entrepreneurs whose primary purpose is a social mission. Black Tech Talent was the winner of this category in 2021.
The companies will move forward to create a pitch deck, summary business plan and one minute video while accessing free mentorship, education and publicity through July. Ultimately, they’ll compete for a share of more than $400,000 cash prizes and gain the opportunity to accelerate their businesses with no equity taken in exchange.
