LINCOLN—It’s already begun, but here’s your reminder that Startup Week Lincoln—the free, seven-day celebration of entrepreneurship—hits its stride starting today. There are almost 30 more events left through Friday, but one of the organizers, Brian Ardinger, says to make sure you get to the Mega Meetup Mashup tonight. It will bring together groups from all across the board to kick the week off right.

He also wanted to highlight one for each day if you can’t make them all or if you’re new to the startup scene. These will get you a taste for what’s happening in Lincoln’s booming startup scene.

Monday
Mega Meetup Mashup at Rule G, 5:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m.—This is a meetup for anyone and everyone interested in the community to get involved. The goal is to pull all of the different meetup groups from around the region into one place.
