ENTREPRENEURSHIP & INNOVATION

Want to Grow Your Idea? Welcome to Fertile Ground.

Omaha startups have a long history of looking forward; understanding the past to better guide the future. The next big thing happens here, in a Midwestern mecca of technology. Here, at the conflux of opportunity and creativity, we don’t need a valley. We have a Silicon Prairie all our own.
