Scrape Minnesota Angel Tax Credit Recipients for EOS Implementation Targeting

Intel / Context Summary

Traction Capital Focus Fund II has $44.8M in deployable capital with immediate deployment pressure, but faces commercial constraints: geographic restriction to Minnesota/Midwest businesses and mandatory EOS operating system adoption for all portfolio companies.

Catalyst: Why Now

The Minnesota Angel Tax Credit program provides public data on companies that have received early-stage funding but lacks any tracking of which companies have implemented EOS. This creates a gap between funded companies and Traction Capital's specific EOS requirement, making the raw recipient list valuable for targeting.

Friction: The Bottleneck

• Vulnerability: The Minnesota Angel Tax Credit program provides public data on companies that have received early-stage funding but lacks any tracking of which companies have implemented EOS. This creates a gap between funded companies and Traction Capital's specific EOS requirement, making the raw recipient list valuable for targeting.
• Resource capture: Proprietary dataset of Minnesota-funded early-stage companies
• Sovereignty yield: First-mover position in mapping Minnesota's funded company landscape
• Required vectors: Vector: Public Records Research, Vector: Data Extraction

Wedge: Execution Protocol

Phase 1: Locate Data Source: Search Minnesota DEED website for Angel Tax Credit program data. Look for annual reports, recipient lists, or downloadable datasets. Check if data is available via Minnesota Data Practices Act portal or public records request. → Phase 2: Extract and Structure Data: Download or scrape the recipient list. Extract company names, locations, funding amounts (if available), and year of award. Clean data into structured CSV format with columns: Company Name, City, State, Year, Amount (if available).
