INTRODUCTIONTECHdotMN has created a resource that showcases a variety of coworking spaces in the state of Minnesota, each offering something a little different. We did this because coworking environments are a key part of the technology ecosystem here, and there are more options than most realize. This is a first of its kind v1 guide that will evolve and enhance year over year. Thanks for reading - we hope you learn something new that supports your professional goals.

OUR METHOD

OUR METHODFirst we scoured our internal database of venues identified as coworking organizations. Then we reached out to peers and asked them if there were others omitted from that list. Finally, we compiled the results, and then paired down based on currently open/active coworking organizations. We probably missed something along the way, so email us [email protected] with any feedback or comments!
