Taking our name from the word “sagacity,” which means “acuteness of mental discernment and soundness of judgment,” we’re an informal group established with a goal of enriching the Twin Cities’ venture capital landscape. Our sessions bring top business leaders together with each other and emerging business founders. At every Sagis Club meeting, valuable connections are made and worthwhile opportunities are discovered. Our lunch meetings, which are free of charge to attend and paid for by the presenters, are held in January, April and September at the Minneapolis Club. The diverse roster of presenters have time to outline the basics of their business plan, make an investment presentation and accept questions from the audience. Before and after presentations, there is time for networking among the group. “Worth my time,” is the most frequent comment we hear from attendees, who appreciate not only the new information they learn, but the high-level business connections that can be made at meetings.
