Event Details

Registration opens at 4:30 PM allowing time for networking, cocktails, and hors d’oeuvres. Followed by a presentation about our state’s everchanging supply of capital as measured by the Oregon Capital Scan, and an engaging panel and Q&A featuring prominent allocators and equity investors. The discussion will explore the opportunities and challenges facing Oregon and the Pacific Northwest’s cash flow landscape from a macroeconomic perspective. Afterwards, feel free to stay behind, enjoy a drink and network as we have the space until 7:30 PM.

Oregon Capital Scan

The Oregon Capital Scan is a comprehensive report that identifies and analyzes sources of capital available in Oregon. It provides insights into the landscape of funding for entrepreneurs and businesses, highlighting gaps and opportunities within the state’s capital ecosystem. The Scan is particularly focused on supporting underserved and underrepresented communities, aiming to promote equitable access to financial resources. The study is produced collaboratively by the Oregon Community Foundation, the University of Oregon’s Lundquist College of Business, the Institute for Policy Research & Engagement, Business Oregon, and other key partners in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors.
