📍 COLUMBUS — I’M HERE THROUGH FRIDAY!

I’m at the Columbus Innovation Center for SourceLink Nebraska Office Hours, and I’ll be available 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. each day through Friday.

Have a business idea you’re trying to figure out? Working to grow an existing business? Looking for training, technical assistance, business planning support, or just trying to understand who does what in Nebraska’s entrepreneurial ecosystem?

Come see me.

Office Hours are simple: one-on-one conversations focused on where you are, where you want to go, and what your next step should be.

No appointment necessary. No presentation. No 47-page application. And absolutely no need to put on your “serious entrepreneur face.”

We’ll talk through what you’re working on and identify the people, programs, organizations, and resources that can help you move forward.

Because sometimes the challenge isn’t that help doesn’t exist.

It’s knowing which door to knock on.

📍 Columbus Innovation Center
🕘 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
📅 Through Friday at 3:00 p.m.

Stop in and say hello. We can start with a pretty simple question:

“So…what are we building?”

Exciting news from SourceLink and SourceLink Nebraska!

SourceLink recently shared a story about the Nebraska Entrepreneurship Dashboard and how this tool can help support economic growth and entrepreneurship strategy at the state level.

This dashboard is more than data. It helps show how entrepreneurship is performing in Nebraska as a connected statewide ecosystem. Across the state, communities, economic developers, support organizations, educators, lenders, mentors, and resource partners are all playing a role in helping entrepreneurs and small business owners move forward.

When we look at entrepreneurship only one community at a time, we can miss the bigger picture. This dashboard helps us better understand how local efforts across Nebraska are working together as part of a larger ecosystem that supports business growth, job creation, firm activity, and long-term economic development.

We are grateful for SourceLink’s partnership, leadership, and national expertise in ecosystem building. SourceLink Nebraska is stronger because of their support, and we are excited to continue building tools that help Nebraska better understand and strengthen entrepreneurship statewide.
