Founded in 2013 and expanded in 2015 by Rochester Area Economic Development, Inc. (RAEDI), the City of Rochester, Mayo Clinic Treasury Services, and Mayo Clinic Ventures, the Mayo Clinic Business Accelerator provides collaborative space and support for entrepreneurs, new and existing companies, and venture capital.

Located in close proximity to Mayo Clinic, our space encompasses over 3,000 square feet within the Skyway level of the Minnesota BioBusiness Center in Rochester. By bringing together like-minded entrepreneurs, investors, and advisors, we create a unique ecosystem for the Rochester area to share ideas, resources, and expertise. This ecosystem, in turn, promotes local and regional economic development through new company creation and expansion.
