David Graff, the 31-year-old co-founder and CEO of Hudl, has been added to the board of directors of the Lincoln-based student loan management company, Nelnet.
Nelnet CEO Jeff Noordhoek told the Lincoln Journal Star that he wanted a younger presence on the board and Graff’s tech background also was desirable.
“He’s young for a public company board, but he’s brilliant,” Noordhoek said.
Nelnet has invested $8 million in Nebraska startups, including Hudl, since 2012. They will continue to invest in startup companies.

Graff brings a level of technical expertise to the board that’s likely to come in handy as Nelnet looks for opportunities to invest in start-up companies, the Journal Star reported.
