  • Planting Seeds in the MN Tech Ecosystem with Casey Allen

    On Episode 1 Kevin McArdle, owner of SureSwift Capital and Jac Stark, community manager of Tech.MN welcome Casey Allen on The Tech.MN Podcast to answer the question we’ve all been wondering – How does he make money? 


    We got more than we bargained for. For us, it is fitting to have Casey on the inaugural episode of The Tech.MN Podcast because when it comes to starting things up he is the OG. Casey dishes on his role in investing in and advising (very) early-stage startups, embracing failure in the midwest, launching an angel investor bootcamp, and even gets personal about the birth of his daughter. 


    We dive into why Minnesota needs to celebrate what we are good at (Hint: It’s enterprise tech)  and the emergence of Casey’s Enterprise Rising Conference. 


    *Bonus* Casey discloses his fantasy dream list for a Techstars program. Any guesses?

    Hype Time

    Every episode we ask our guest to name drop someone doing cool things in the tech community. Casey gives a shout out to Thompson Aderinkomi of Nice Healthcare. *Spoiler Alert* we’ve got Thompson on the podcast this season.
