Omaha, Nebraska · Cohort 1 launches Q1 2027
From Solo to Scaling
A 6-Month Intensive for Black Women Entrepreneurs Ready to Build Job-Creating Businesses
Why BUILD Nebraska?
96% of Black women-owned businesses operate without employees. Not because of lack of ambition—because of lack of infrastructure. The Landscape Scan found: 74% cite access to funding as top barrier; 44% cite one-on-one coaching as critical; the $75K–$250K capital range remains most underserved; support programs end abruptly at graduation, leaving entrepreneurs isolated.
BUILD Nebraska was designed to solve exactly this.
