We were recently featured in Google’s 2024 Economic Impact Report, and we couldn’t be more proud. For us, this isn’t just a highlight — it’s a moment of reflection on the impact we’ve made and continue to make right here in Omaha. It’s also a moment of gratitude: to our members, our community, and our city. The feature validates what we’ve always believed — that entrepreneurs need more than just space to succeed. They need flexibility, community, and a shared belief in growth.
What Is Google’s Economic Impact Nebraska Report?
Each year, Google releases the Google Economic Impact Nebraska section to spotlight businesses using its digital tools to contribute to local growth. The report highlights how businesses across the state use platforms like Google Ads, Business Profiles, and Google Workspace to reach customers, run operations, and scale efficiently.
In 2024, Elevator was honored to be included — a clear acknowledgment of how our approach to space, community, and scalability has helped local businesses thrive. It’s also a sign that flexible infrastructure is becoming just as critical to business growth as digital tools.
As a coworking space in Omaha offering private offices, co-warehousing, and flexible lease terms, Elevator provides a launchpad for entrepreneurs. Being featured in Google Economic Impact Nebraska affirms that our model works.

What Sets Elevator Apart
So, what exactly did Google see in Elevator?
We’ve reimagined workspace to match the needs of today’s businesses. Unlike traditional coworking models, we blend community with logistics — and we do it all under one roof.
1. Coworking Meets Cowarehousing
Our co-warehousing model truly sets us apart. Members can manage storage, inventory, and fulfillment operations right from their space — a solution built for modern e-commerce and makers. It’s space that works like you do: lean, efficient, and adaptable.
2. Flexible, No-Pressure Leasing
Month-to-month contracts. No long-term commitments. No surprise fees. It’s all part of the accessibility that helped land us in Google Economic Impact Nebraska. Whether you're testing a new market, growing your team, or scaling logistics, the ability to adjust your space to your stage of business is critical — and that’s what we provide.
3. Connected Community
Elevator isn’t just desks and Wi-Fi. We’re a community of builders. From pitch nights and product launches to hallway conversations that lead to new collaborations, our environment is built around connection. That collaborative spirit is a huge part of our contribution to the local economy — and something our members consistently tell us is hard to find elsewhere.
Omaha's Role in the Google Economic Impact Nebraska Report
The Google Economic Impact Nebraska report isn’t just about one business. It’s about momentum. It’s about places like Omaha stepping into a larger spotlight. It’s about showing how a strong local foundation can create ripple effects of opportunity and innovation.
