Matt Foley- Why Build in Nebraska?
In this episode, we talk to Matt Foley, the Program Director at Invest Nebraska about why you should build a company in Nebraska!
Matt helps with portfolio management for the venture fund and leads operations for The Combine AgTech Incubator. The Combine supports early-stage agtech companies in various fields such as row crops, animal health, digital agriculture, and sustainability. The incubator provides go-to-market support, access to a network of partnering producers, and seed funding to its founders. The Program Director has previously worked as an analyst for the Invest Nebraska Venture Fund and has founded a startup called FarmAfield.
The main points from our conversation are:
- The Nebraska community is willing to back you and cheer you on
- You're two people away from a game-changing network connection
- Forward-thinking customers willing to innovate
- The hardworking and resourceful talent pool
- Startup founders are not competing but rallying together
