Imagine EVERY ENTREPRENEUR … has access to high-quality resources, tools, mentoring, and capital to launch, grow, and scale a viable business, no matter where they live or who they are.
Resources for Entrepreneurs are 1. Invisible services can be very hard to find. Inefficient services are uncoordinated. 2. Insufficient expertise and knowledge across the state. 3. 4. Inequitable distribution of resources.
From the entrepreneur’s perspective. “It’s great to have programs and local mentors , but if I can’t find them, they’re not helpful to me.” — Veronica Johnson, OR Entrepreneur “ I got bounced around from one agency to another, and I still didn’t get what I needed. It took hours of my time to drive all over town.” — Dean Arbander, OR Entrepreneur
