I have been very much interested in starting up a tech business in Minnesota, however relocating to, say, California really isn't an option at this point in my life. Are there any companies in Minnesota that I could get a hold of to discuss this tech startup?

This is a very localized question for our board. As a Minnesota resident I can tell you that there are lots of great networking resources with just a little Google searching. Check out the Minnesota High Tech Association (mhta.org) And don't forget my adage: In CA a start-up is two guys in a garage, in Minnesota a start-up is a spin-off from 3M – Joseph Barisonzi Aug 1 '11 at 14:57

The Minnesota Angel Investor Network is a good place to start. There are other investor groups who are geographically flexible. Google is your friend.

Despite the recently reported near-death of the Minnesota Angel community (as seen in the local Twin Cities newspapers) I am here to report that angel investors are alive and well in our state. They are just a little more cautious...
