Congratulations to Nancy Williams, Grant Stanley, Nick Knudson, Timothy Kephart, and Andrew Curran, for rounding out our contestant line-up!
You can view their one-minute pitch videos below, along with those of the first three contestants announced, Kyle Laughlin, Joe Frost, and Brendan Evans.
Now, it’s time for the last two rounds.
Join us Thursday at 7:30 p.m. to hear our contestants pitch their ideas in five minutes or less to a panel of judges. After a short break, the judges will announce three finalists, ask a question of each, and leave it to an audience vote to decide the winner. Once votes have been tallied, the winner will be presented with a $1,000 check from Invest Nebraska Corporation.
If you know one of the contestants, like one of the ideas pitched, or you’d just like to discuss one of your ideas with other attendees, I hope you can make it to this exciting event.
