The Game-Changers

Come level up your startup and join us for our summit on Saturday, November 2nd at downtown Minneapolis. 


Hear from local leaders on how they grew their team, what they did to get their venture off the ground and raised capital (or bootstrapped). Whether you're a season entrepreneur, in the trenches or looking to start your own (or join one), Graveti summit is the place to be. 

The Location


Seen as an extension of Target Hall—the collaborative meeting space and hub of Target’s headquarters—Target Plaza Commons boasts a modern industrial look with furniture groupings that allow for a flexible and informal meeting space. Soaring windows open the building to the street and allow passersby to see all the activity happening inside.
