The Great Plains I-Corps Hub is opening its call for applicants for its Spring 2024 Cohort and announcing new support from Fiserv and FNBO.

A coalition of universities that provides programs to help faculty, researchers, and graduate students develop technologies and innovations, the UNO Regional I-Corps Cohort is a free, 5-week program open to University and Community Startups from all backgrounds, particularly ones underrepresented in the Omaha community.

Whether a business is still in the idea phase or already developing a product, this program will help amp up their value proposition and tackle customer discovery as they work with renowned I-Corps instructors specializing in this field. After completion of the program, each team will be awarded $1,000.

Fiserv, a leading global provider of payments and financial services technology solutions with a flagship presence in Omaha, and FNBO, Nebraska’s largest bank serving both consumer and business customers, are sponsoring the program for the first time. In addition to providing financial support, Fiserv and FNBO will have the opportunity to engage with the Spring Cohort, offering guidance and materials for future success, spanning topics ranging from financial technology to small business entrepreneurship.
