Startup Weekend came back to Nebraska for the first time in about a decade. Around 60 people pitched ideas on Friday night, voted on their favorites and formed seven teams.

Our team built CleanOS, an AI-assisted tool that helps local cleaning businesses with invoices, calendars and other back-office work. It took first place, and the team plans to keep building it.
