Our Accelerator Approach
We started Built Oregon with the simple vision – to make Oregon the leader in consumer product innovation and development. But becoming a leader requires laying the foundations of support, knowledge and resources upon which companies can engage. Built Oregon launched the country’s first not for profit (no cost + no equity taken) consumer product accelerator in June of 2019.
The accelerator is a collaboration with our sister organization, PIE (Portland Incubator Experiment). The program focuses on breaking down the startup mythology concept and working with founders to define how they envision success and connecting them to mentorship, resources, peer to peer connections, and mental health support to help them achieve it.
