Making its official Nebraska debut last week, Pipeline kept its cool.
Pipeline, a regional entrepreneurial fellowship based in the Kansas City area, held the first Nebraska module in its history May 2-4 in Omaha and Lincoln. And, on Thursday night, Pipeline took over The KANEKO and opened the module to guests for the COOL Lounge Event. The evening included a “cool conversation” and various attractions from Pipeline innovators past and present.

The Nebraska meeting was the second of four modules on Pipeline’s calendar this year. Pipeline’s foray into the Cornhusker State was made possible by the program’s expansion, which was first announced in April of 2011. At Pipeline’s Innovator of the Year event in January, the members of that first regional class were unveiled.
“The Nebraska module was so rewarding on so many levels,” Joni Cobb, Pipeline’s president and CEO, said in an email. “We had tremendous content for the entrepreneurs and made significant progress on their ventures, we had the honor of so many advisers and partners in Nebraska contributing to the experience — and we met so many more potential fellows, mentors and partners. I can’t imagine a better experience.”
