But you’ll never get the chance to prove how worthwhile your startup is to the Bend Venture Conference audience if you don’t get your application submitted. They’re due August 9, 2024.
This year’s conference will feature three competition categories: Growth Stage, Early Stage, and New Economy (formerly Impact) Tracks. The application period is open now through Friday, August 9th, and companies across the United States are invited to apply.
- Growth Stage Track: This category is open to companies that are post-revenue who have a complete business plan, are ready for market expansion, and in need of growth capital. The company may have raised an earlier seed round and is currently raising at least $500K in investment capital.
- Early Stage Track: This category is open to companies that have a business concept close to or fully developed, are working on product market fit, and are likely pre-revenue or very early revenue. The company may have raised a pre-seed round and is seeking to raise at least $200K in investment capital.
- New Economy Track: This category is open to for-profit companies who are creating products and technologies that accelerate the ability for marginalized communities to meaningfully participate and contribute to the innovation economy. Generally speaking, New Economy applicants have generated between $100K – $900K in revenue in the last 12 months and are seeking their first institutional funding round.
