Selection Criteria

The combination we have in Minnesota of Fortune 500s and a diverse and active startup ecosystem is a competitive advantage. BETA’s Bridge program, powered by Livefront, is where these two communities meet to explore new ways to work together.

BETA Bridge measurably increases the collaboration between corporations and startups in Minnesota through intentional connection and conversation. By participating, you will be connected with five other startup and corporate leaders in a 90-minute industry-specific roundtable discussion. Participation in Bridge is free for everyone involved.
