You want new clients. We want to connect entrepreneurs to your expertise. Join the over 100 companies who sponsor our educational programs, online content, signature events, and organization.

We are uniquely positioned to connect your company to hundreds of local entrepreneurs and startup companies that are actively seeking your services.

We can help you:

  • Reach a target market of highly educated, business decision-makers. Sponsorship grants you access to over 1,200 members who not only make business decisions at their companies, but who are closely connected to other Oregon business leaders.
  • Gain visibility as an industry leader. Word travels fast in the entrepreneurial community. An OEN sponsorship gives you an edge over your competition by positioning you as a company at the forefront of your industry.
  • Support job creation and economic development in Oregon. An OEN sponsorship not only pairs your name with a respected local nonprofit, but supports our mission to drive job growth and earn Oregon a national reputation as a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Oregon Angel Food Conference

Oregon Angel Food (affectionately known as OregonAF) is so named because one company will be selected for angel investment (“Shark Tank” style) by a group of local investors at the end of the program. In addition to the OregonAF Grand Finale – during which finalist food entrepreneurs will make their last pitch to investors on the main stage – the entire venue will be taken over by a local food Marketplace featuring craft food and beverage entrepreneurs from around the Pacific Northwest.

PubTalks are OEN’s flagship networking events where we invite everyone in the entrepreneurial community to gather to connect and learn from and about entrepreneurs!

When we started our business a few years ago I had attended some local business meet-and-greets and I felt that they were a waste of time. So I stopped going to them. This is NOT the case with OEN. Every OEN PubTalk I’ve attended I’ve learned something new, or met a valuable connection or resource.”

—Christine Enderby, Founder, Nuzzle
