Nebraska Global’s big funding announcement drew coverage from several regional and some national media outlets. Photo illustration by Danny Schreiber.
Yes, we already reported on Nebraska Global‘s announcement of $17.7 million in additional funding earlier this week. But given that the capital raise by the Lincoln-based software investment fund is easily the largest of its kind we’ve seen on the Silicon Prairie this year — according to our research, a $10.6 million raise by Kansas City-based Zave Networks is the next largest — it seems like a subject that deserves further examination.
So, for starters, we’ll get a one-day jump on #FF by introducing Nebraska Global’s new Twitter handle, @NebraskaGlobal, which posted its first tweet shortly after Tuesday’s funding announcement. For those interested in the official word on what’s happening inside the company’s Haymarket headquarters, following that handle along with @DontPanicLabs and @MakoXRM — the Twitter accounts for Nebraska Global companies Don’t Panic Labs and ICORA, respectively — is a good start.
