There aren't words. The future is bright and bold. Thanks to each and every person who's brought this vision to life. Today we hosted our first gathering for leaders who have been featured as RISING ICONS by LAUREL and what a room. A lot of new connections were made between brilliant people building important solutions. We're here because of the belief of so many, including the support of Knight Foundation that saw potential and promise in this idea.

WOW! What an honor to be featured as a Rising Icon by LAUREL. Keep pushing the envelope Shelisa Demuth, looking forward to making more connections in this great community.

Attention innovators and journalists in Minneapolis-St. Paul! Which innovation ecosystem should we host at our next event?

I attended my first LAUREL Meet the Press (MSP) event this morning and it was a revelation. I know I sound like a broken record but there truly are great things happening here in the Twin Cities tech ecosystem. I'm feeling inspired after so many great discussions with local innovators. Thanks Shelisa Demuth for putting the cool kids (and me) in a room together to engage in this conversation. #mntech #innovation #community #boldnorth #startups #meetthepress
