Who is behind this?
Imagine sitting at the kitchen table. You and your friends are discussing the pro’s and con’s of business ideas, what will work and what doesn’t stand a chance. Now imagine a place where you can have the same conversations, but with hundreds of people, online. That is the vision of NxBizSuccess, to add life to ideas, to share experiences and knowledge, to find resources to make it happen and to bring together like-minded people who see Nebraska as a great place to start a business.
NxBizSuccess started as a shared vision between Community Development Resources, Inc. (CDR) and the NebraskaEDGE program (EDGE), located at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. After 15 years of providing loans and business plan training, CDR and EDGE saw the need to move beyond the classroom to the dynamic world of interactive education.
