What a great event! Thank you EisnerAmper for the incredible support you provide to entrepreneurs across Minnesota!
Recently, our Minnesota office hosted a "Crafting a Winning Submission" panel in collaboration with Minnesota Cup, the largest statewide startup competition in the country, for this year's semi-finalists. The panel, including our partner Kevin Besikof, provided valuable insights into creating strong pitch decks, business plans, and financial reporting.

Congrats to our 2022 General Division Winner, Telo Design!
This last weekend Steven Bleau and I had the privilege of representing the University of Minnesota at the Heartland Challenge hosted by the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Arkansas. Over the course of 2 days we pitched our company, Telo Design, to a range of judges including industry leaders and venture capitalists. We were honored to take home the grand prize of $50,000, but more importantly, so grateful for the incredible feedback and support we received from all those we crossed paths with in Northwest Arkansas. It was an inspiring weekend seeing all the other company's incredible innovations and we can't wait for the opportunity to stay connected. Thank you for everyone's continued support in our company, it truly means the world to us and we cannot wait to see what the future holds. #HeartlandChallenge
