Nebraska Startup Academy

The Nebraska Startup Academy offers a free online platform for founders to connect with other founders, share resources, ask for help, offer support, and build community. We continue to add founders from our waitlist and now have ~150 founders active on the platform. In 2024 we'll add more entrepreneurial support, so if you are not a founder or early-team member but love startups also feel free to apply. Sign up is live at go.nestartupacademy.org

At Pipeline, we know the entrepreneurial journey is full of unexpected challenges. That’s why adaptability is at the heart of what we do. It’s about staying open to change, learning from setbacks, and growing alongside a community of founders who support and inspire each other. Adaptability is where we thrive - if you know an entrepreneur who resonates with that value be sure to have them apply: www.applypipeline.com
