On Tuesday, October 7 at 8:00 AM, the Mid-Columbia Innovation Hub and Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN) will host a “reverse pitch” event. This is a format where resource providers, not founders, do the pitching.

In short bursts (two minutes, no slides) entrepreneur support organizations from around the Columbia Gorge and across Oregon will introduce their programs, services, accelerators, and funding opportunities directly to the people they’re designed to serve: entrepreneurs, startup teams, and small business owners.

It’s the opposite of a typical startup pitch event. Instead of founders vying for attention, the spotlight is on the ecosystem itself. This offers a quick, unfiltered look at what’s available and how to plug in.

The session is intended for anyone building or growing a business who wants a clearer view of the landscape and opportunities here in The Gorge and across our great state!
