Don't make tech
feel bigger than
the problem.

If something in your business feels clunky, outdated, or harder than it should be, you're not wrong, but it doesn't have to stay that way.

Websites & Online Presence

Clean, modern websites that make a business look credible, explain the offer clearly, and turn visitors into real conversations.

Who I Help

Built for people who want honest help and real results.

A lot of good businesses know something could work better, but they don't have extra time or a full tech team to figure it out. That's where I step in.

  • Small businesses
  • Ag operations
  • Schools & nonprofits
  • Growing teams without a tech department

“I'm not coming in as a big agency. I grew up here. I understand the realities of local businesses and the importance of trust.”

Times have changed. Technology is rapidly advancing. My goal is to fight rural flight by bringing big city technology to our local businesses. The better our businesses do, the better they can support the towns and communities they are part of.

Selected Work

A few examples of what I've built...

Problems involving technology, operations, and business growth.

AgTech Startup

Problem

Ranchers were spending too much time checking livestock water systems manually.

Enterprise Software

Compliance Reporting at Scale

Problem

Financial institutions needed better reporting to meet customer and compliance demands.

Solution

Developed entitlement reporting functionality inside an enterprise product at NCR.

Result

Accelerated roadmap delivery by a year, impacting roughly 200,000 business customers.

AI & Venture Operations

AI Tools for Founder Support

Early-stage teams need faster operations, sharper messaging, and investor readiness.

Solution

Built AI-assisted memo workflows and supported startups through Nebraska Angels and The Combine.

Result

Brought both technical and business perspective to founder growth strategy.

Seth Daup
About Seth

I grew up here, learned a lot elsewhere, and now I'm back.

I'm from Gothenburg, Nebraska. Over the last several years I studied finance, math, computer science, and management at UNL through the Raikes School while building real experience across software, business strategy, entrepreneurship, and investing.

I co-founded Cattle Kettle, an AgTech IoT startup for ranch water monitoring, worked as a software engineer at NCR Corporation, built an AI tool for Mutual of Omaha, invested in startups through Huskers Venture Fund, and consulted with growing businesses along the way.

After graduating, I traveled through Australia, Indonesia, and New Zealand. I believe in our Nebraskan communities, and I want to put what I've learned to work here.

Process

A simple way to work together.

1

Understand Your Business

We start with your goals, bottlenecks, and opportunities so the solution fits your business instead of forcing you into generic software.

2

Build the Right Solution

Then, I design and build the website, dashboard, automation, or system that solves the problem in a practical way.

3

Implement and Improve

Finally, I help you launch, train your team, and refine the setup so it keeps delivering value over time.
