Meet the 8 Growth Stage semifinalists competing to take the stage at the 21st Annual Bend Venture Conference! As Central Oregon's flagship entrepreneurship event, BVC creates an opportunity to connect investors and industry leaders with startups looking to scale. Each year, a new BVC Growth Fund is raised to invest in the most promising growth stage companies that compete in the annual conference. Since applications closed on August 9th, investors and partners have evaluated each company to identify the most well-positioned startups to compete in each of BVC's three tracks. Brian Vierra, EDCO's Venture Catalyst, explained, "The investors in the Bend Venture Conference Fund are passionate about supporting the growth of the Central Oregon startup ecosystem and bring a wealth of professional experience to evaluating the merits of new innovations. We're excited to see the growth potential represented in this year's semifinalist companies, and we look forward to the impact they will have." Read more about them here: https://lnkd.in/gZNNSsUr
