# Pitch Oregon 2023 finalists announced

While pitch competitions may come and go, [Pitch Oregon](https://oregon.tie.org/pitch-oregon-2023/) has been a community mainstay for a dozen years, featuring a variety of interesting companies on stage and as winners. This year promises to be no different with startups representing a spectrum of industries.

> Pitch Oregon is entering another year, showcasing the talent and innovation of Pacific Northwest founders. Each year, Pitch Oregon brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors from the region, creating a collaborative and dynamic environment for launching startups on their growth journeys. Winners of the growth categories for Pitch Oregon 2023 will receive investment through a special purpose vehicle (SPV). A cash prize will be awarded to the Early-Stage winner.

Startups are divided into four categories, three growth stage and one early stage. The growth stage categories are Cleantech / Sustainability, Life Science, and Software / Technology. The early stage category is sector agnostic.
