NMotion

NMotion, powered by gener8tor, is a mentor-driven venture capital accelerator founded in 2013 in Lincoln, Nebraska — the state's first startup accelerator. It runs a 12-week, cohort-based program twice yearly, investing in six early-stage, high-growth startups per cohort from the Great Plains region. Beyond capital, NMotion offers individualized coaching, bi-weekly one-on-one mentorship, a strategic network of 100+ community members, and over $1 million in deals and perks from vendors like IBM Cloud, Amazon, and Microsoft. Programs culminate in a public showcase event. The accelerator is industry-agnostic and business-model-agnostic, accepting startups across all sectors. Notable alumni include QuantifiedAg, Nobl Health, RealmFive, and Liveby; NMotion has accelerated over 100 startups and invested roughly $3.9 million in Nebraska-based companies since 2019. Its typical check is $100,000 per startup via a SAFE for 7.5% equity. Investment criteria emphasize high-growth potential and founder coachability over sector fit, with a hands-on, personalized approach — limiting each cohort to six companies for focused support.
