Husch Blackwell Encourages Startups to Apply for Get Started Omaha Pitch Competition

GSO-eligible startups are those that have raised less than $200,000 in funding and generated less than $200,000 in revenue. The application deadline is Friday, March 13, 2020.

As a founder and former winner of Get Started Omaha, I am delighted to be returning as a judge for this year’s competition! The exposure and connections we received through the competition and beyond helped us build what Maxwell is today - a single employer solution for modern benefits, rewards & peer giving, that help teams “crush it.” We love the Husch Blackwell Startup team who “crushes it” every time!
