Concept Stage companies are in the very early stages of their life cycle. While not eligible for the investment award that the Launch companies are vying for, the Concept Stage semi-finalists will compete for several prizes and will have the opportunity to participate in Upstart Day, a day-long immersion with the Angel Oregon investor group representing finance, sales, marketing, technical, distribution, and strategy expertise.
The Angel Oregon investors who are part of this year’s conference will now engage in due diligence and research to determine which companies will make the finalist round and compete for top prizes.
This year’s Launch and Concept Stage semi-finalists were chosen from more than 65 Oregon and Southwest Washington startups to apply to the annual investor event, which will take place April 17th at the Governor Hotel in Portland.
