EmpowerHER is a grassroots organization that connects female founders across the state to foster the geninune relationships that guide us to GREATNESS. EmpowerHER started with five female founder friends, all craving a little bit more out of their startup network. More insight, more hope, more inspiration, more help. More kickass women! It started in a kitchen, with just the five. From there, an idea for a larger gathering sparked and caught fire.

Twin Cities Startup Week is a multidisciplinary festival celebrating Minnesota's expansive startup ecosystem. Events hosted over seven days build relationships and drive collaboration to support and develop the state's most innovative businesses. While you are welcome to atteend this event regardless of having a TCSW ticket, we HIGHLY recommend attending other events throughout the week! Tickets are affordable and support a good cause.
