The Combine

The Combine is a statewide initiative supporting high-growth entrepreneurs in food and agriculture. The program consists of commercialization support through mentorship and a capital readiness program, networking events, a network of partnering producers across the state, as well as incubation space on the Nebraska Innovation Campus.

About

The Combine Program assists high growth businesses and entrepreneurs across the state through in person and virtual coaching. Program staff, mentors and advisors assist entrepreneurs with lean business model coaching, prototype development, commercialization curriculum and fundraising support.

From initial goal setting and idea assessment to preparation for a capital raise, The Combine Program is designed to assist entrepreneurs on an individual basis.

With a focus on food and ag tech, The Combine supports undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, and the general statewide community. Entrepreneurs in eastern Nebraska are encouraged to utilize the incubation space, however, the program is available on demand digitally across the state.

The Insights Network is a group of farmers and ranchers across Nebraska that have interest in partnering with early stage startup companies and providing feedback.
