OEN’s Angel Oregon Program is a chance for entrepreneurs to hone their pitch and business plan and connect to mentors, resources, and funding opportunities.
In 2017, we’ll be offering entrepreneurs a chance to compete in our Early Stage or Concept Stage categories. The Early Stage winner will receive an investment of over $200,000; the Concept Stage winner will receive a package of goods and services (historically valued at $20,000).
Applicants to either category may also be considered for loans ranging from $25,000 – $250,000 through Business Oregon’s Small Business Expansion Program.
Additionally, women and minority entrepreneurs may be considered for cash awards (not loans, not equity!) from the Portland Development Commission of $10,000 at the Concept Stage level or a $15,000 cash award at the Early Stage level.
Our experience with Angel Oregon was extremely rewarding. Every step along the way helped make Yellow Scope a stronger business. Our due diligence team was composed of seasoned experts in finance, marketing, supply chain and logistics. Their advice and support helped us refine and streamline our business plan. Perhaps even more importantly, their support strengthened our confidence that we can do this!”
