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.

- jonpaul 14y agoWhile you may be right about comparisons with other similar sized cities, I feel that I've seen quite the blooming of tech startups. Admittedly, I'm very biased as I live here. But with the arena project and all of the entertainment venues planned, Lincoln will look very different in 10 years. Here is a list of some tech/data startups in the area (Lincoln, not Omaha): http://www.macpractice.com/mp/ http://www.macpractice.com/mp/ http://gitpilot.com http://gitpilot.com http://www.socialassurance.com/ http://www.socialassurance.com/ http://archcrowd.com/ http://archcrowd.com/ http://www.firespring.com/ http://www.firespring.com/ http://www.getlockr.com/ http://www.getlockr.com/ http://www.cmsdm.com/ http://www.cmsdm.com/ http://www.dontpaniclabs.com/ http://www.dontpaniclabs.com/ http://www.icora.com/ http://www.icora.com/ http://www.ec3h.com/ http://www.ec3h.com/ http://www.beehiveindustries.com/ http://www.beehiveindustries.com/ http://eliteform.com/ http://eliteform.com/ http://the42.com/ http://the42.com/ http://www.archrival.com/ http://www.archrival.com/ How long have you been gone?

- timjahn 14y ago"http://www.turbineflats.org http://www.turbineflats.org (a building full of tech companies)" I feel like there are more "startup buildings" popping up all over the US. Turbine Flats in Lincoln. Mastercraft in Omaha. General Assembly in New York. 1871 in Chicago. American Underground in Durham. That's great. Gathering like minds is such a big step.
- 27182818284 14y agoYeah but at least two of those immediately jump out at me as "not startups" unless you count startup as "company that happens to do tech" which I don't.
- pohl 14y agoI just don't see Lincoln as anything special. Great bike paths, though. Say, how's that nipple detection algorithm coming?
