# Pitch Latino expands to Central Oregon with Bend event

Not so long ago, [Pitch Latino](https://www.latinofounder.com/) was a single annual Portland event. [Then they expanded to Seattle, Washington](https://siliconflorist.com/2024/03/13/pitch-latino-goes-on-the-road-to-support-even-more-latine-entrepreneurs/). And now, the expansion continues. Pitch Latino will be held in Bend, Oregon, on October 1, 2024. But before that happens, they need Latine-led companies to [apply to take the stage](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf7qkRU9HC_ea_SrD13UB2zudU4GZpCKtstw0cxxfYpj_jUmw/viewform).

> Latino entrepreneurs will get five minutes to pitch to the audience and then three minutes of questions about their idea. After the last pitcher has answered questions from the audience, attendees will then vote for the winners who split the prize money equally.

Applications are due by August 24, 2024. The event takes place at Open Space in Bend on October 1, 2024. [Tickets are $25](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pitch-latino-bend-2024-tickets-952852095267) with all proceeds going to the participants.
