Slow Pitch with Oregon Venture Fund

Join Oregon Venture Fund and PDXWIT for our 3rd annual pitch event.

Calling all entrepreneurs! If you’ve been working on a business idea through the pandemic or are in the process of growing your business and ready for the next phase of talking with investors, keep your momentum going by pitching your vision and the progress of your product. Oregon Venture Fund investors will weigh in with constructive feedback and connections. Ninety percent of OVF investors have started or run a business at some point in their career, and this is a great way to get feedback from these local entrepreneurs and tech leaders.
