As you read this blog entry, angel investors and start-ups are flocking to Madison, Wisconsin for the annual Wisconsin Early Stage Symposium and the Mid West Health Care Venture forum.
Minnesota should care about this for two reasons: 1. Aside from the Collaborative's Venture Capital conference, we don't host anything comparable and 2. quite a few Minnesota start-ups will be looking for money at these events. And as we already well know, Wisconsin money will tempt these companies to move across the border.
Here's a list of Minnesota companies presenting in Wisconsin this week:
- DgiMed Ortho- Minnetonka
- Kappametrics Inc.- Minneapolis
- NeoChord Inc.- Minnetonka
- Drazil Foods Inc.- Edina
- Marvel Concepts- Duluth
- OrthoCor Medical- Minneapolis
- Pursuit Vascular Inc.- Blaine
- RAI Stone Group LLC- Golden Valley
- Teknion Heart Inc.- St. Paul
