Ready to ditch the dining room table headquarters? Three Omaha businesses are about to get the boost they've been waiting for.
Let's be real for a second—running a small business from your home is like trying to cook a five-course meal in a studio apartment kitchen. Sure, it's possible, but at some point, you're going to need more counter space.
That cramped feeling of boxes taking over your living space? The professional awkwardness of telling clients to "just ignore the laundry basket in the Zoom background"? The logistical nightmare of running to the post office every. single. day?
We see you, Omaha entrepreneurs. And we're here to change the game.
Going Up? The $15,000 Small Business Booster Has Arrived
Elevator Omaha has teamed up with 316 Strategy Group and Dave Pantos to create something pretty special: a $15,000 giveaway designed to lift three Omaha small businesses to new heights.
Each selected business will receive:
$5,000 in warehouse or office space credit at our downtown Omaha location (bye-bye, garage operations)
Professional branding package from 316 Strategy Group (the kind that makes competitors nervous)
Business consulting to streamline your operations and growth strategy
Legal consulting from Dave Pantos (because Google searches aren't actually legal advice)
The best part? This isn't just about space—it's about joining a thriving community of entrepreneurs who get exactly what you're going through.
Why Your Business Needs This Boost
If you're reading this, chances are your business is at that awkward growth stage—too big for your living room but not quite ready for a traditional warehouse lease. You're in what we call the "scale-up squeeze," and it's a tough place to be.
The Scale-Up Squeeze: Signs You're Feeling It
Your inventory has claimed at least one room of your house (and is eyeing another)
You've mastered the art of the midnight shipping label print
Clients are starting to ask for in-person meetings at "your office"
Your family has threatened to "accidentally" donate your product stock
You spend more time managing logistics than actually growing your business
Sound familiar? You're not alone. In fact, this is exactly why we created Elevator in the first place.
From Garage to Greatness: Real Stories of Transformation
What happens when businesses get the right space and support? They flourish.
Take Made in Omaha, for example. Before joining Elevator, they were maxing out their retail locations' back areas, with no room for their growing gift box program. Orders would "just sit there" waiting for postal pickup.
Now? They ship daily with ease, receive all their deliveries in one place, and have even expanded to share space with neighbors. Plus, they've forged valuable connections with other businesses in the building (like Eleven Three Candles), creating new opportunities for collaboration.
Or consider Eleven Three Candles, whose founders were literally making candles while watching TV, with no real downtime. Their basement was "taken over by all the things," and they split inventory between home and a storage unit.
The result of moving to Elevator? A proper workspace, professional logistics, and most importantly, the return of work-life balance. Their home is a home again, not a warehouse.
Is Your Business Ready for Liftoff?
The $15,000 Small Business Booster isn't just a random drawing—we're looking for businesses with growth potential, community mindset, and a clear vision for how this boost will elevate their success.
This giveaway is perfect for:
Product-based businesses drowning in inventory
Service providers needing a professional space for client meetings
Creatives who have outgrown their home studios
E-commerce sellers tired of turning their living rooms into fulfillment centers
Any small business ready to look as professional as they actually are
