Two studies released this year suggest that Minnesota is not a major hotspot for entrepreneurs, but their methodologies open the door to debate.
People who have the type of personality that leads them to start new businesses tend to be clustered together geographically—and Minnesota isn’t home to a particularly strong concentration of such entrepreneurially inclined individuals.
That’s one takeaway from a study that psychologists from Germany’s Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the University of Texas released earlier this year and that seems to resonate with another 2013 report.
