Entrepreneurship and startups are a hot bed of activity this month in the great state of Tennessee.

Four years ago Silicon Prairie News (or SPN as they’re affectionately known) began reporting on stories in Omaha and surrounding areas. They soon added coverage from Des Moines, Kansas and other areas. Today SPN is the site of record for anything happening in the Silicon Prairie. While we know all too well how hard it
