It’s down to 28.

MN Cup, the largest statewide entrepreneurship competition, on Tuesday announced its 28 division finalists. The annual competition is put on by the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management via its Holmes Center for Entrepreneurship.

The division finalists were selected from the 88 semifinalists named at the end of May. This year’s crop of semifinalists ranged in age from 11 to 81 years old – the broadest age range in MN Cup’s history.
