Phase 1 — Foundation & First Build

Phase 1 is where things become real. This phase focuses on putting a usable foundation in place so you are no longer starting from scratch. Phase 1 is free for Minnesota-based individuals and businesses (subject to availability).

What happens in Phase 1

Phase 1 takes what we learned in Phase 0 and turns it into something tangible — a real starting point you can use and build on.
