Entrepreneur Support Org Reverse Pitch
The Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN), and partner Xcelerate Women, invite you to a dynamic gathering on Thursday, January 30th starting at 8:00 am where entrepreneur support and community organizations from the Portland Metro area will pitch their services, programs, accelerators and engagement opportunities directly to entrepreneurs, startup founders and business owners in 2 minutes with just a microphone!
Unlike traditional startup pitch events where founders give the pitch, we are flipping the script and bringing together organizations to pitch the services they offer that help entrepreneurs succeed.
Entrepreneurs will walk away from the event not only with new knowledge of regional resources but with valuable connections and actionable steps to help accelerate their business journey, from securing funding to enhancing their leadership skills to accessing support in other critical areas of business growth.
Join us for a morning interacting with the leaders and organizations that can help you figure out how to make your startup idea a reality!
