Founded in July 2008, Silicon Prairie News exists to highlight and support the burgeoning entrepreneurial ecosystem on the Silicon Prairie. With five full-time employees and nearly a dozen contributors, they have individuals on the ground in and around Omaha, Des Moines and Kansas City. SPN launched coverage of the Des Moines startup community in 2009 and continues to be the source for information about startup activity and culture across Iowa and the region.

With a primary focus on tech startups, SPN publishes a daily blog reporting on and profiling the individuals, companies and culture that make up the Silicon Prairie. With the goal of connecting, educating and inspiring individuals, they produce regular events, such as Big Omaha and Thinc Iowa and have a hand in planning many more events throughout the year.
