		<description><![CDATA[The proposed Elk Run biosciences project in Pine Island just took one major step toward reality.
Developer Tower Investments said Wednesday that the state Department of Transportation will spend nearly $15 million building an interchange at U.S. Highway 52 and Olmstead County Highway 12.
The interchange, Tower notes, is key to the project because it provides direct [...]]]></description>

About four months ago, Matt Kramer, Gov. Tim Pawlenty&#8217;s chief of staff, summons Taylor and Jay Schrankler, who run&#8217;s the university&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Will Piper Jaffray invest in Steve Burrill&#8217;s $1 billion Elk Run fund?
Would seem to make sense. Burrill, a San Francisco-based biotech investor,  is scouring the Twin Cities for capital and as Minnesota&#8217;s largest investment bank, Piper presumably has some.
To me, Elk Run also fits the &#8220;alternative investment&#8221; portfolio Piper hired Lois Quam to create before [...]]]></description>

The company, which is developing a hemorrhagic shock drug designed to keep patients alive even after catastrophic blood loss, hasn&#8217;t been able to find investors in Minnesota. Wisconsin, on the other hand, boasts a thriving angel investor community thanks to generous [...]]]></description>

It would be perfectly understandable if the Badger State wanted to sit on its laurels and count the Minnesota startups fleeing to Madison or Hudson. Instead, as Minnesota [...]]]></description>
