Nebraska startup CompanyCam shows huskers some love with free app

In a show of gratitude and support for its local community, Lincoln-based CompanyCam has announced that it will be offering its construction management photo application free to Nebraska-based contractors for the next year. The campaign, under the name Homefield Advantage, comes just a few months after the company won $100,000 at the Inside/Outside Innovation Summit pitch competition, which actually served as the impetus for CompanyCam to offer its service for free. “We had the idea to offer CompanyCam to every Nebraska contractor after winning a pitch competition among Midwestern startups that was held here in Lincoln back in June. We really saw the Nebraska community come together and support these startups from around the Midwest and we wanted to show our thanks,” said CEO and Founder Luke Hansen. CompanyCam is a photo solution aimed at solving some of the biggest communication problems that are faced by contractors working on various projects simultaneously. Coordinating each of your team members and resources typically involves a series of dead-end phone calls, followed by frustration and, perhaps, an unnecessary drive out to the job site.
