Introduction
In business, as in life, integrity is everything. Within our organization, integrity goes
deeper than just the game rules; it is our code of conduct. Confidence, respect and
inclusiveness are imperatives.
What is EO?
Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) is a global community that enriches members' lives through dynamic
peer-to-peer learning, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and connections to experts.
EO is a global, non-profit educational organization exclusively for young entrepreneurs. Its members are
business professionals under 40 years of age who are the owners, founders, co-founders or controlling
shareholders of a company with annual sales of $1 million or more.
Our objective is to support, educate, and encourage young entrepreneurs to succeed in building
companies and themselves. Through extensive educational and networking opportunities, EO provides
learning events, social activities, interaction among peers, and the very powerful forum experience, all
designed to foster personal and professional growth for these business leaders.
Why Support EO?
Organizations who sponsor the Entrepreneurs’ Organization provide funding, resources, and dedication to
the success and welfare of EO members. Our partners are carefully selected for the value they provide to
the chapter and for their strong support of entrepreneurship. Their financial contributions help the
Nebraska chapter develop its programming services and infrastructure, plus subsidize members’
networking and educational opportunities at both the local and national levels.
In return, partners are afforded the opportunity to interact with some of Nebraska’s top entrepreneurial
minds. As a prominent supporter of these industry leaders, sponsor’s can invest a fraction of the cost of
traditional advertising and develop long term relationships with key decision makers of firms that
potentially need their expertise. By creating strong relationships and offering critical business solutions,
EO partners help create even greater success for chapter members while developing relationships for their
own business growth.
Potential sponsors must be willing to invest the time and energy necessary to establish a long-term, quality
alliance and have genuine interest in forming and developing lasting relationships with EO’s young
entrepreneurs – the success stories of business today and leaders of business tomorrow.

Current Sponsors
EO is extremely selective when forming special partnerships with alliance organizations and corporate
sponsors. EO seeks to establish alliances with only those leading organizations and foundations that
share our dedication and commitment to entrepreneurship. We form sponsor relationships with only a
limited number of leading companies, which can contribute value-added benefits and services to our
membership and their employees.
The yearly monetary support and in-kind contributions of our partners help our organization to grow in
terms of programming, services and infrastructure. Additionally, revenues raised through partner
relationships subsidize members' annual dues worldwide.
