What does it take to turn failure into momentum—and a prototype into a product?

Join us for a candid conversation with Tom Chapman, co-founder of Peeq Pro and a cornerstone of Nebraska’s entrepreneurial community. With a career spanning Fortune 500 collapse (Enron), lessons from inside global accelerators like Techstars, and countless startup lessons, Tom brings a brutally honest perspective to what it means to create something real—especially in the Midwest.

In this talk, Tom will unpack:

The hard-won lessons from years of failed ventures
Why building anything physical in the Midwest is a different kind of challenge
