Crafted in Oregon. Built By Community.
Built Oregon looks to leverage Oregon’s deep legacy of product craftsmanship and innovation to create broad-based and equitable opportunities for entrepreneurs in consumer products.
Ultimately, our vision is a thriving, world-leading consumer products ecosystem across Oregon - One in which we help founders redefine success by placing the highest value on the people in their company and the communities where they reside.
Our Vision
Consumer Product Accelerator Program
We believe Oregon is the Silicon Valley for consumer products - a hub of opportunity and innovation. Our accelerator program connects emerging statewide brands with focused mentorship and support all at no cost to the companies.
(On hiatus for 2025)
Our Bridges program works with local farmers’ markets and retailers to connect BIPOC led consumer product companies to retail opportunities. To date, we’ve helped connect more than 100 companies to these opportunities.
Bridges Program
Built Oregon announced itself to the community with the Built Festival in 2017 and since then we have hosted four Festivals that help to connect the consumer product ecosystem around community events and fireside conversations with industry leaders.
Built Festival
Over the past couple of years with the support of grants from Nike and Meyer Memorial Trust, we have expanded our community work in the Black community through gatherings, events like PitchBlack, and direct grants to Black owned businesses.
