The Founders Lab is a new founder-focused community designed to help entrepreneurs build stronger businesses through mentorship, practical education, coaching, and meaningful connections.
This isn't just another networking event—and it isn't just another pitch night.
It's a place where founders can bring their ideas, businesses, challenges, and questions and get real feedback from people who understand what it takes to build.
🎯 What to Expect
🤝 Founder Networking Connect with entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, and business leaders from across the Omaha ecosystem.
🎙️ Founder Conversations Hear real stories and practical lessons about entrepreneurship, leadership, growth, and building a business.
💡 Live Founder Coaching Selected founders will have the opportunity to present their businesses and receive direct feedback, coaching, questions, and actionable next steps.

🎤 Facilitated By

Glen Lambert — Entrepreneur, Community Builder & Founder, YouStudioTV Inc
Together, Jennifer and Glen will facilitate the entire evening and create an environment focused on practical advice, meaningful conversations, and action.
🔥 The Bigger Vision
The Founders Lab is designed to become a recurring founder development community.
The goal is to help entrepreneurs spend the year building, learning, getting coached, creating traction, and preparing their businesses for bigger opportunities.
That journey will ultimately lead toward the Startup Challenge—a future competition where participating founders can compete for meaningful funding, business resources, mentorship, and opportunities to grow their companies.
