He organized a vibrant celebration of local art with Alley Fair, was highly influential in bringing Uber to Fargo, recently launched a farmers market in downtown Fargo, and is an active Prairie dog at the Prairie Den. Introducing one of Fargo’s biggest activists, Mr. Joe Burgum, our last (but certainly not least) Captain for tonight’s Startup Drinks. He’s a champion for local art and really good at getting stuff to happen.
Joe, envisioning the future.
He has also been seen occasionally posing as a carrot. The Red River Market official mascot.
Spotted.
He also, apparently, has knack for brevity. His answers are short, yet profound. Deep, yet succinct. Joe Burgum, everyone.
