Erica Wassinger was featured in this new piece from Silicon Prairie News on the contrasting approaches to healthtech growth in Nebraska and Philadelphia.
The article explores how places like Nebraska are building health innovation ecosystems differently, with long-term commitment and strong institutional backing. At Proven Ventures, we believe in building durable companies rooted in community, impact, and execution. Erica captured it perfectly:
“Nebraska’s startup ecosystem reflects the best of its culture: collaborative, down-to-earth and eager to help. We often say it’s a community of ‘barn-raisers and casserole-makers’ — people who will gladly make connections, introductions and lend support.”
