Programs
Oregon Entrepreneurs Network programs help innovative businesses across Oregon and Southwest Washington turn promising ideas into thriving companies.
Through the Angel Oregon Capital Readiness program, founders build the knowledge and connections to pursue funding, while the Angel Oregon Investing program connects investors with opportunities to support emerging businesses.
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Assistance helps innovators navigate non-dilutive federal funding opportunities to advance research, development, and commercialization.
Together, these programs strengthen the region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem by connecting founders with the education, capital, and resources they need to grow.
