ARCHIVED COMMENTS
How do we establish a culture of risk in Nebraska and tolerance of failure as part of the process towards creating High Growth Businesses? Who is going to be the leader in this area?
What words of advice do you have for entrepreneurs looking for their initial investment? What pitfalls should be avoided, what opportunities are out there?
How does Nebraska plan to seek and imitate the successful practices of other states? What has Nebraska already done right in this area? Can things that have been successful for a geographically popular area like California work here too?
It seems like most high school and college students in rural Nebraska don't have a clue about technology and why it is important.
How do we get more young people interested in studying technology?
(Can't go to the event but thanks for considering my question!)
I just performed the drawing and our winners are: Matt and Emily!
Thanks for the questions Joe, Matt, Emily and Ross. I'm going to leave the comments open (as opposed to closing them as I wrote above), so feel free to add your questions, too.
