Startup lessons and insights from Nebraska Global and Agile Sports founders

On April 27, the Lincoln Young Professionals Group and its Entrepreneurship Committee brought together two local entrepreneurs, one seasoned and one fresh, to talk about their startup experiences. John Wirtz, COO of Agile Sports, is best known for the product Hudl, which is marketed to high schools, universities and professional sports teams to allow coaches and athletes to better use video. He and two others started the company while they were students at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. All three had attended the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management at UNL.

Wirtz was our interviewer for the night and brought questions for one of Lincoln’s most successful software developers, Steve Kiene. Kiene started his first software company at age 17 and now is part of a new venture, Nebraska Global.
