As a nonprofit dedicated to unlocking economic empowerment for all, contributions to Lunar power our programming and speed up the rate of transformation for cohort companies and their communities.
We’re grateful for the support of the following partners.
Launch Partners
In December 2017, the John L. and James S. Knight Foundation made a gift to American Public Media | Minnesota Public Radio (APM | MPR) for the purpose of building a signature startup accelerator in downtown Saint Paul focused on minority entrepreneurs.
As a result of this partnership and the vision of Knight Foundation, Lunar Startups was created as a program of the Glen Nelson Center and APM | MPR.
