Come vote for us virtually at BETA Showcase this fall from 2-5pm on Wednesday, September 16. We’ll be facing 20 Minnesota startups. The event runs a bit like a science fair, but for startups, where reporters, potential employees, investors, tech enthusiasts and customers discover and celebrate Minnesota-made innovation.

Join us online. The event is virtual and free to the public. Register and find additional details on Eventbrite.

The purpose of the event is to provide founders of emerging companies with a launching point to introduce themselves to the people that can positively impact their business.

The event will be held on the virtual events platform Hopin. Never used Hopin before? No worries! Check out the BETA Showcase Hopin Virtual Tour to learn more about how to use Hopin.

  • There's no set schedule; attendees are welcome to come and go throughout the event.
  • Attendees will be able to hop in and out of the showcasing startups' expo booths to listen to their live or recorded demos and interact with the teams.
  • If guests need a break from demos, there will be a community lounge session to join and connect with others.
  • Guests will be able to enter the networking area of the virtual venue where there will be live 5 minute speed networking. There, attendees can exchange "business cards" with other attendees and all connection information will be saved on their Hopin account to reference after the event.
  • Each guest will be granted votes to “invest” in their favorite startup(s). After tallying the votes, the winner will be announced around 4:30 pm.
