Meet & Greet with Executive Director of Oregon Entrepreneurs Network

The Oregon Frontier Innovation Hub is delighted to invite you to meet Cara Turano, Executive Director of the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network. Cara, is traveling to La Grande specifically to meet local entrepreneurs and business owners, because the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN) is serious about serving entrepreneurs across the entire state. OEN has spent 3 decades connecting founders to funding, mentorship, and resources. They've facilitated over $5.6 million in angel investments into Oregon startups and influenced millions more to founders who have gone through OEN programs, worked with mentors, and received introductions to OEN networks. They host the state's premier Entrepreneurship Awards (Kristy Athens, founder of Good Groceries, was nominated this past year), offer workshops, pitch practice, business introductions, and more. This is your chance to: Introduce yourself and your business directly to Cara Learn what OEN and the Oregon Frontier Innovation Hub offer (and whether it's right for you) Connect with other entrepreneurs No pitch required. No pressure. Just honest conversation, locally produced wine, and an opportunity to showcase all the amazing work and innovation business owners and entrepreneurs are advancing in Eastern Oregon.
