LBLCO Sponsors the 7th Annual Minnesota Cup

Lurie Besikof Lapidus & Company, LLP is a proud sponsor of the Minnesota Cup, a statewide competition that seeks out Minnesota’s newest and most innovative business ideas.

LBLCO has been a sponsor of the MN Cup since the contest’s inception in 2005. Since then, more than 5,000 contestants have entered the competition from every corner of the state and more than $175,000 in prize money has been awarded.

The competition is supported by Governor Dayton, the University of Minnesota, Wells Fargo, the State of Minnesota, Arrowhead Growth Alliance, Carlson, and many others.

LBLCO Partners Beth Kieffer Leonard and Joel Lebewitz participate on the competition’s BioSciences, High Tech, and Grand Prize Review Boards, respectively.

The MN Cup officially launched its seventh year on March 28, 2011. The annual, statewide competition seeks out aspiring entrepreneurs and their breakthrough ideas. This competition is for all entrepreneurs—whether your breakthrough idea is high tech or no tech, whether you are just putting your ideas into a business plan, or whether you've been out building your venture.

Entries are now being accepted until 11:59pm on May 20, 2011.
