More than 100 tech entrepreneurs gathered in Lincoln Saturday to find out the problems they will solve in the first JumpStart Challenge. The competition offers three challenges to tackle, including problems from HomeServices real estate, INSPRO Insurance and a wild card category open to any startup idea. The Challenge is sponsored by NMotion and the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development. Participants have until Tuesday to register a team and submit any additional questions. Teams then have until April 5 to validate, create, build and get as far as they can on their proposed idea/solution to each challenge. The winning team in each category will win a $1,000 prize along with coworking passes to FUSE Coworking. — Source: Brian Ardinger of NMotion
