About

Starting Up North aims to tell stories, share insights and provoke interest in the innovation that goes on in Minnesota and surrounding communities. Innovation is occurring at startups and Fortune 500 companies alike and we will attempt to shine a light on it through our articles.

Based in Minneapolis, MN Starting Up North was created and is run by Stephanie Rich with the help of many members of the MN entrepreneurial community. 

Editorially, Starting Up North is organized into four sections:

THE LIFE: Articles that share what it’s like to work at a startup or a job with a focus on innovation. 

THE GUIDE: This how-to section exists in essays, lists, and other creative formats and serves to inform the professional community.

THE PATH: Profiles of individuals and companies that detail how they reached their current point.

THE LANDSCAPE: Articles that cover trends, issues, industry changes that affect multiple companies and/or people.
