Capital Scan 2022
Unlocking Opportunity: Oregon Capital Scan 2022 Report Reveals Landscape of Vital Funding for Oregon Entrepreneurs
Access to capital allows businesses and entrepreneurs to finance their ideas, expand their operations, and create jobs. It’s particularly important for underserved and underrepresented communities, who may face greater barriers to traditional financing sources.
These last few years in Oregon illustrate when everyone recognized where and how capital matters. The question we should all have now is - ‘what's next?’ And the answer is, ‘we are not done.’ Matching capital to extraordinary opportunities in this state is our collective call to action.
