OMAHA, Ne. (Oct. 4, 2011)—A group of Nebraska entrepreneurs, angel investors, technology leaders – along with the University of Nebraska - announced today a commitment to help fund the regional expansion of the PIPELINE Entrepreneurial Fellowship program, which will now include Nebraska. This investment will be matched dollar for dollar by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation as part of an $800,000 challenge grant that was awarded to PIPELINE earlier this year. As part of the partnership, Nebraska entrepreneurs may now apply for the Regional Class that will be selected for 2012.
PIPELINE is nationally recognized for its work in accelerating high growth entrepreneurs while building out a national network for their sustained growth. Now in its fifth year of operations, PIPELINE is expanding to serve a broader region with the help of the Kauffman Foundation. As part of the challenge grant, PIPELINE has been in discussions with various leaders in the Midwest to determine the right boundaries of the expansion. Nebraska became a front-runner very early in the process and will now be a key partner for the 3-year pilot expansion project.
