There are a lot of cool companies in the Twin Cities. But which ones are the coolest?
In September, we’ll be hosting Coolest Companies Fest, our late summer pillar event and celebration of the city’s innovation class. There will be cold beers, music pumping and the coolest disruptors from the Twin Cities. You’ve been working hard all year; Coolest Companies Fest is an opportunity for the City’s startup, tech, ed, and business communities to let loose.
Leading up to the event, we’ve be running our Coolest Companies Competition. It’s a friendly challenge to find the local startups/companies with the best culture. So, does your company have awesome outings? Do you have a vacation policy that makes your friends jealous? Do you have a roof deck or in-office bar? Does your company hook you up with sweet swag? Whatever makes your company culture unique, tell us about it.
Nominations will close Wednesday, July 18 and we will post the finalists on August 1. Also, on August 1, we will open up ‘Reader’s Choice’ voting where the community will get to select the winners for the 5 ‘All Around Coolest Companies’ winners. So get ready to vote!
The 10 winners (5 superlative winners and 5 ‘Readers Choice’) will be announced at Coolest Companies Fest, plus they’ll get a shoutout on Minne Inno and the HONOR of being one of Minne Inno’s 2018 Coolest Companies. Get your company involved; fill out the link below or pass it along to HR/PR.
