Angel Oregon Tech
Angel Oregon Tech is powered by Oregon Entrepreneurs Network
This year, we’re excited to partner with Oregon Entrepreneurs Network in powering Angel Oregon Tech, as part of TFNW. AOTech is an education program and investment event hosted by OEN, which connects tech entrepreneurs with investors, mentors and fellow founders. Included is a four-week workshop series and the opportunity to pitch for a $125,000 angel investment.
Angel Oregon Tech had 90+ regional tech startups participating in a four-week workshop series on growing and financing their businesses, featuring lessons learned from experienced local entrepreneurs like Ganesh Shanker from RFPIO, Sarah Smith from The Dyrt, Travis Rush from Reperio Health, and Gabe Paez from The Wild.
Of the participating startups, about 40% include at least one founder of color. Approximately half of the companies are concept stage and eligible for the Include Awards, and half are at the growth stage and will compete for angel investment from AOTech.
AOTech entrepreneurs will have the chance to pitch for an investment to fund the growth of their company. The pitch competition finale will happen on TechfestNW main stage, where 9 finalists will be pitching to a panel of investors for the opportunity to win a direct angel investment of up to $125K.
