Lunar Startups will accept five to seven early-stage companies to occupy dedicated space within Lunar Startups’ offices at Osborn370 in St. Paul’s downtown core. In addition to office space, benefits of the 12-month cohort include ongoing visibility, education, stewardship and team development. Lunar Startups will measure success of the cohort based on the companies’ growth including customers and milestones achieved.

Lunar Startups will announce Cohort 1 in mid-July. The cohort will begin in September to coincide with the launch of our new space in Osborn370. For the latest information on Lunar Startups, follow us on Twitter @lunarstartups.
