Newsletter, May 29: NMotion Showcase

More than 100 people gathered to celebrate the latest cohort of NMotion founders at Millwork Commons in Omaha last week. Seven companies, including the winner of a recent NMotion pitch competition, presented their startups to the audience.

NMotion announced its plan to invest an additional $3M in 30 more companies through 2026. The event also marked the milestone of supporting 100 startups since the accelerator started in 2013 in Lincoln.
