Minnesota Cup (Minneapolis, Minn.)

In 2005, Haberman & Associates was a proud co-sponsor of the first annual Minnesota Cup, a statewide contest that seeks out, supports and promotes Minnesota's newest and most innovative business ideas. More than 600 entrants competed for the first prize of $25,000 in seed capital, as well as free public relations, legal, research and management support services. The winner also received the first-annual Minnesota Cup, presented by David and Carolyn Cleveland and sponsored by the University of Minnesota. Second and third place winners received $5,000 and $2,500, respectively.
