In 2012, Mark Crawford, known for classy suits and a shoe collection that would make Michael Jordan jealous, made a leap of faith when he joined Invest Nebraska Corporation to manage the venture development organization’s deployment of more than $2 million per year.

He had spent the previous 15 years working on the East Coast in Boston and Washington, DC, as an analyst, associate, and managing principal for venture capital, mid-cap, mezzanine lending and leverage buy-out shops. At previous jobs Mark led private equity transactions in excess of $125 million and participated in many more.
