Thanks to Ian Carlstrom with the West Central Minnesota Small Business Development Center - SBDC for teaching us about AI tools at Tuesday night’s Spark School!

Our attendees walked away with practical ideas for saving time, working smarter, and putting these tools to work in their businesses.

We love creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to learn, connect, and leave with something they can use right away.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Startup BREW Fargo: Moorhead Takeover Day at the Spark Center for Entrepreneurship! It was wonderful to see entrepreneurs, community members, and supporters filling the space with great conversations and new connections.

A special thank you to our featured Moorhead entrepreneurs, Thaddeus Laugisch of A Peculiar Pet Shop and Evan Balko of Motion North, for sharing the stories behind their businesses with honesty, humor, and heart (and a few furry friends, too!). We're also incredibly grateful to Minnesota Youth Poet Laureate Sienna Lee for kicking off the morning with a beautiful poem.

We're thankful to our friends at Emerging Prairie for bringing Startup BREW to Moorhead and for continuing to build a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem across our region.

This is exactly what the Spark Center is here for: creating a place where ideas, relationships, and opportunities can grow. We can't wait to welcome you back soon!
