Open Range shares latest Techstars cohort and a new partnership with First National Bank of Omaha. The Omaha-based nonprofit supports the startup hubs of Greater Omaha and Lincoln. It has recently announced the cohort members representing Nebraska for the Techstars Founder Catalyst Global Fall 2026 Program. This comes as Open Range partners with FNBO to create future opportunities for startups. September 25, 2026 Open Range is a Nebraska-based nonprofit created to bridge and boost the startup hubs of Greater Omaha and Lincoln. The organization recently announced its latest founder cohort with Techstars and a new partnership with First National Bank of Omaha to develop programming for entrepreneurs. Techstars is a global startup accelerator and professional network. Open Range was a key force in bringing Techstars to Omaha and has been the organizing entity behind finding Nebraska applicants and assisting them with joining the Techstars Founder Catalyst pre-accelerator. Two cohorts have already occurred, with the first in the fall of 2025 and the second earlier this spring. The latest group is participating in the Techstars Founder Catalyst Global Fall 2026 Program, which lasts 10 weeks and consists of expert-led workshops and mentorship. * Enzo Clean: Sells hygiene and cleaning products for athletes and their equipment. Led by Tamio Stehrenberger. * Etholytics: Offers machine learning technology centered on the monitoring and data collection of animal behavior. Led by Haley Beer. * mNemo Automation: Builds secure artificial intelligence, custom apps and estate systems for homes and properties. Led by Jeremiah Jorgensen. * Moonlit AI: Provides small businesses and marketing teams with data insights from analyzing their websites. The goal is to improve website functionality and customer experience. Led by Ashley Scalia. * U-GoTrip: Helps travelers and their families plan and customize road trips on the go based on their wants and needs. Led by Ugo Okolo. This cohort reveal comes as Open Range announces its official partnership with FNBO, which touts itself as one of the largest privately held banks in the U.S. and the largest bank in the state. According to the company, it has $35 billion in assets and is one of the largest agribusiness lenders in the country. Open Range CEO Laurel Oetken said Open Range and FNBO are still in the works of figuring out specific programming to offer founders. However, she said FNBO was interested in appearing at community events, getting acquainted with entrepreneurs and their needs and helping them network and consider different financial pathways for funding their ventures. Laurel said she also envisions opportunities for FNBO to offer insights to startups dabbling in the fintech space. "We are excited to work alongside Open Range to help build the startup infrastructure that will support Nebraska's next generation of entrepreneurs," said Marc Butterfield, senior vice president of product and innovation at FNBO. "Strong founders create strong communities, and we are proud to play a role in that journey." FNBO is currently listed as a sponsor of the upcoming Startup Week scheduled for Nov. 16-21. Additional sponsors listed the Greater Omaha Chamber, Lincoln Chamber of Commerce and Invest Nebraska. Startup Week is a week-long celebration of the Nebraska entrepreneurial ecosystem, targeting founders, investors, students, stakeholders and those curious about the startup scene. Open Range acquired Startup Week from SPN at the same time Omaha 100 acquired the publication earlier this summer. Open Range Program and Events Manager Jocelyn Stange said the timing of Startup Week this year worked out to coincide with both local and international festivities. In addition to showcases of both the latest Techstars cohort and NMotion Accelerator Fall 2026 cohort, Global Entrepreneurship Week and Women's Entrepreneurship Day will be taking place.

First National of Nebraska Buys InBankshares for $204M. First National of Nebraska and its subsidiary FNBO (First National Bank of Omaha) have agreed to acquire Denver-based InBankshares Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, InBank, in an all-cash transaction. InBankshares estimates its common stockholders will receive total consideration of $200 million to $204 million, although the final amount will depend on factors including tangible equity at closing and any special dividend paid immediately beforehand. InBank's conversion and branch rebranding to FNBO are expected in the second half of 2027. InBank is an independent community bank with $1.4 billion in assets that provides commercial, business and personal banking services. The acquisition will add nine Colorado branches along the Front Range, establishing new FNBO locations in Denver, Colorado Springs and southern Colorado. Combined with FNBO's 21 existing branches in northern Colorado, including Fort Collins, Boulder, Greeley and Loveland, the deal will expand FNBO's Colorado network to 30 branches. FNBO will also gain four InBank branches in northern New Mexico.

First National of Nebraska's subsidiary FNBO has agreed to acquire Denver-based InBankshares Corp and its subsidiary InBank in a cash transaction. The deal, pending regulatory approval expected by year-end, values InBankshares at between $200 million and $204 million. InBank holds $1.4 billion in assets and operates as an independent community bank offering commercial, business, and personal banking services. The acquisition will significantly expand FNBO's Colorado presence, adding nine InBank branches along the Front Range to its existing 21 northern Colorado locations, creating a 30-branch statewide network. FNBO will also gain four InBank branches in northern New Mexico. InBank's rebranding and customer conversion to FNBO is expected in the second half of 2027. This follows FNBO's June acquisition of Blue Ridge Bank & Trust in Missouri.
FNBO to acquire Colorado bank in $204M deal. The Nebraska-based lender said acquiring $1.4 billion-asset InBank will expand its Colorado footprint into the Denver and Colorado Springs markets. Published Sept. 2, 2026 Dive brief: * First National Bank of Omaha has agreed to acquire Denver-based InBankshares Corp. in a cash deal valued at up to $204 million, the companies said Wednesday. * The acquisition of $1.4 billion-asset InBank would boost FNBO's presence in Colorado, adding nine branches in the state and expanding its footprint to Denver, Colorado Springs and southern Colorado, FNBO said in a news release. InBank also has four branches in northern New Mexico. * The companies expect the deal to receive regulatory approval by the end of the year. Dive insight: FNBO has been on an acquisition tear: The InBank deal announcement comes just three months after FNBO said it would buy Independence, Missouri-based Blue Ridge Bancshares, expanding its presence in the Kansas City area by eight branches. And that occurred nine months after FNBO closed its acquisition of Country Club Bank, giving the Nebraska lender 20 Kansas City-area branches. Privately held FNBO is a subsidiary of Omaha-based First National of Nebraska, which has about $35 billion in assets. FNBO has about 140 locations across Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. FNBO's Colorado presence already includes 21 branches across the northern part of the state, in Fort Collins, Boulder, Greeley and Loveland. The InBank acquisition will bring the bank's statewide branch count to 30. "InBank is strategically and culturally aligned with FNBO and represents an important step in our thoughtful expansion," Clark Lauritzen, president and chairman of FNBO, said in the release. "Its experienced team, trusted customer relationships and entrepreneurial culture provide a meaningful foundation as we welcome new customers and communities to FNBO." Under the terms of the deal, InBank shareholders can receive a special dividend just before closing, and will receive cash for their InBank shares from First National of Nebraska at closing. The dividend amount and the amount paid for InBank shares will be affected "by several factors," including InBank's tangible equity at closing, the release said. InBank estimates total shareholder consideration for the transaction will range from $200 million to $204 million, with the per-share value ranging from $16.41 per share to $16.74 per share. An investor group acquired International Bank, a 100-year-old community bank in New Mexico, in 2018 and rebranded it to InBank the following year, according to an investor presentation. The bank had about $1.1 billion in deposits and $942.7 million in loans held for investment, as of June 30, according to a second-quarter earnings release. InBank sold three branches in 2025 to "optimize" its footprint, the investor presentation said. "InBank was built with a commitment to delivering highly personalized service, and FNBO shares our belief in authentic relationships, local decision-making and doing what is right for customers and communities," Ed Francis, InBank's founder and CEO, said in the release. "We believe this next chapter will create new opportunities for our customers and associates while carrying forward the values that have shaped InBank." InBank branches will be rebranded as FNBO branches in the second half of 2027, alongside customer conversion, the banks said.
