Everything is an experience and the experience is everything.
Technology should bring us closer together, not push us apart. We're on a mission to prove it.
Our Story
We started in Minneapolis in mid 2024 with a simple idea: host events that actually matter. Within months, we became the fastest growing innovation community in the midwest—running everything from intimate founder dinners to major conferences like Twin Cities Startup Week.
In March 2025, we started building Communiful to scale what we'd learned. We're not just building software—we're building the infrastructure for human connection. The midwest is just the beginning.
