This year’s Minne Inno Madness bracket-style competition is now in its third round.
The competition started earlier this month with 32 local startups in the Twin Cities area going head-to-head. Now, there’s just eight companies left.
With over 300 votes cast in Round 2, Minne Inno is now revealing the next matchups. Voting is open for Round 3.
A quick recap: two battles were nearly too close to call. That includes the matchups between RadWave Technologies Inc., which just beat out Oncodea with five votes, as well as BKB Floral Foam Inc., which edged out Pneumeric Inc. with just one vote.
See below for the updated bracket with the eight companies that made it to Round 3 and their new matchups. Third-round voting begins now and continues through March 27 at 3 p.m. Readers can cast one vote per round. A Minne Inno Madness winner will be crowned on April 6. As a reminder, here are the contest rules.
