Invest Nebraska, a venture development organization founded in 2002 that advises and invests in innovative, growing and early-stage business ideas in Nebraska, welcomed its new chief executive and investment officer, Mark Crawford, to its operations in June. Crawford previously worked for SFI Financial, a Washington, D.C.-based venture capital firm. Crawford’s experience includes investing capital in all stages of the corporate life cycle from seed to maturity. In addition, Crawford has completed more than $100 million in deals throughout his career.
According to Dan Hoffman, Invest Nebraska’s chief operating officer, the corporation will be slowly moving away from its business plan competitions and using Crawford’s experiences to deploy a significant amount of capital across the state. Invest Nebraska’s primary focus will be directed toward start-ups and small businesses.
