I'm surprised I haven't heard of any seed accelerator programs in the Twin Cities yet. It's a great area to live in, and MN has some of the sanest governance to be found in the U.S.
There are a few things going on here; I just submitted another story about a very micro seed capital program (minnespark) that was just launched by part of the local tech community: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1230144
There's also the Minnesota Cup; I haven't heard many success stories emerging from it, but I haven't looked into it very hard, either: http://breakthroughideas.org/
There's a great tech community in & around the Twin Cities, and definitely more and more interest and activity toward building a startup culture in this area. Cool stuff is going on.

It helps that we now boast three YC companies: SocialBrowse, FanChatter and Zencoder.
Great, now if Duluth gets picked for the Google Fiber trial (which so many people here are rooting for!) we'll be all set!
Great!
