On September 5, 2025, the Foundry will host an interactive breakfast between students and business leaders, exploring how the "Entrepreneurial Mindset" can transform careers and organizations while addressing our state's pressing brain drain challenge.
Connect through the Entrepreneurial Mindset
Dr. Samuel Nelson, Director of the Nebraska Center for Entrepreneurship, will guide participants through engaging discussions on innovation, problem-solving, and opportunity recognition. Unlike typical networking events, this breakfast facilitates structured small-group interactions where:
Young professionals gain insights into applying entrepreneurial thinking in careers
Business leaders discover fresh perspectives that can drive innovation within their companies
Both groups build relationships that strengthen Nebraska's professional ecosystem
Every individual registration also contributes a donation for a student, making this a free event for Nebraska's future talent. Each table at the event will pair four business leaders with four high-achieving Nebraska students, providing a unique opportunity for meaningful interactions and the exchange of valuable insights.
The entrepreneurial mindset extends far beyond starting businesses—it's about creating change, identifying opportunities, and solving problems in any environment. By fostering these connections, we're not just sharing ideas. We're developing the collaborative foundation needed to keep Nebraska's talent engaged and invested in our state's future.
