Angel Oregon was such a great experience for us. It’s so important to step back and look at the big picture, and really helpful to have experienced people look at your company and ask the important questions.”

Eligibility Requirements

OEN’s Angel Food Conference 2019 Program is only open to companies located in Oregon or SW Washington.

Companies participating in the Concept Stage competition typically:

  • Have a great idea, and are close to “proof of concept”
  • Are in the process of testing their product in the market
  • Have little if any revenue – yet

If you have already generated revenue, completed your business plan, and developed your product or service, you may be a better fit for our Startup and Developing Stage Competition. Please review our Startup Stage criteria here.
