"The Great Plains Capital Conference was a great venue to network, pitch and identify potential investors for Nitride Solutions. We made initial contact with several angels that became investors in our Series A. We also invited several of our investors from Nebraska Angels to attend last year and the feedback we got from them on the event and the quality of the company presentations was very positive."

Jeremy Jones,
Nitride Solutions
