2019 marked the return of Minnesota’s angel tax credit, an incentive program for investors to put money into growing Minnesota startups. The program, which offers a 25% tax credit to investors who put money into eligible startup companies, began in 2010 but disappeared for a year after its funding lapsed in 2017.
