Twin Cities Business buys Tech.MN

Twin Cities Business has acquired Tech.MN, a news site focused on Minnesota’s startup community, for an undisclosed amount.

A story on its website states, “‘We are thrilled to welcome Tech.MN readers to TCB,’ said Twin Cities Business editor-in-chief Allison Kaplan. ‘Tech.MN has been a valued resource for Minnesota’s startup community since 2009, and as TCB has stepped up its coverage of entrepreneurship and innovation in the last few years with the creation of StartMN, we are pleased to share this content with the Tech.MN audience.’

“With a presence online and in print, StartMN is TCB’s hub for entrepreneurial news, networking, and advice. That’s where you’ll now find Tech.MN’s startup events calendar, a community-driven calendar powered in partnership with Launch Minnesota, as well as tips and perspectives from local innovators and thought leaders. The StartMN newsletter, free to anyone who subscribes, goes out the last Monday of every month. The next print edition of StartMN will be out in the October/November issue of Twin Cities Business.”
