# TiE Oregon Pitch Oregon 2017: And the winners are…

Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the TiE Oregon Pitch Oregon 2017 event, this year. But luckily for you, [Malia Spencer](http://twitter.com/pdxbizmalia "Malia Spencer on Twitter"), who covers startups for the Portland Business Journal, was there to hear the [10 companies](https://siliconflorist.com/2017/12/05/reminder-attend-tie-pitch-oregon-2017-on-december-7/ "REMINDER: Attend TiE Pitch Oregon 2017 on December 7") pitch the panel of judges and audience—and to reveal the winners.

This was my favorite tweet from her, during the event.

And the winners were…

> In addition to the prizes offered by TiE, investment firm Elevate Capital announced commitments to two of the companies. Julvia, which created a device used in conjunction with sutures to close wounds, collected $50,000. Allgo also picked up $50,000. The company’s review website analyzes spatial logistics for overweight people seeking entertainment options.
