NMotion powered by gener8tor is a Nebraska-based accelerator program that has supported 111 startups since its inception in 2013. Under the current programming, two cohorts of high-growth companies are selected each year to receive investment, coaching and additional resources. NMotion invests $100k in each business for 7.5% equity.
NMotion is accepting applications for the NMotion Accelerator Fall 2025 cohort through Aug. 17.
Scott Henderson, NMotion managing principal and gener8tor Great Plains Fund general partner, recently wrote a guest post for SPN highlighting outcomes from his time leading the accelerator. He said 35 of the 111 companies have raised follow-on investments totalling $50.6 million. Eight of the 111 companies, he said, have exited and generated more than $60 million in returns.
“Crazy, wild-eyed entrepreneurs build here in Nebraska,” Henderson said. “They are creating well paying jobs. They feel heard, seen and supported. They are taking risks and growing immensely as people.”
