Twin Cities Startup Week is the second-largest free entrepreneurial festival in the U.S and, like many other events, it will be going fully virtual this year. To learn more, Peter speaks with Casey Shultz, Executive Director of BETA and Damola Ogundipe, CEO of Civic Eagle, about the importance of TCSW. Casey speaks to the silver linings of hosting the event at such an unusual time, and why one of its programs is actually responsible for her moving to Minnesota. Damola talks about how he may never have started Civic Eagle without TCSW, and the how the local startup community is working to turn racial justice conversations into actions.
