Living in the area (Lincoln, NE), you can see that the tech startup scene is blooming. With the cost of living so low, plentiful access to engineering students (UNL), and the rise of investment capital, the opportunity to build a successful startup in this area is growing quite quickly. I was once convinced that I had to move to the valley to be successful, but now I couldn't be more proud of this area, and am determined to build success here.

I use to live in Lincoln before moving to San Francisco..

What sorts of startup resources are you seeing that you feel will propel Lincoln forward?

I can think of a handful of "startups" or technology based companies in Lincoln; Hudl, Penlink, Nanonation, i2rd, ...

While it's great to have these companies, I would contend that the number of startups Lincoln has is probably in line with the rest of the country and nothing special. The world is changing; if the city is inviting to new businesses you _should_ see more software type businesses crop up.

I just don't see Lincoln as anything special.

Great bike paths, though. Say, how's that nipple detection algorithm coming?

One step closer to Pohl.. :)
