Typical startup accelerator programs usually have an average of 10 startups in a single cohort. The Oregon UAS Accelerator…? Slightly more for this batch. They just revealed the 34 companies that will be participating in this round of the unique startup accelerator program focused on the flight facility in Pendleton, Oregon.
“These companies aren’t concepts confined to a slide deck. They’re building, deploying, and testing real systems in real environments,” said Joseph Wyno, Executive Director of the Oregon UAS Accelerator. “Our investor events give funders and strategic partners direct access to high-quality uncrewed systems deal flow across aerial, ground, and maritime domains, including live demonstrations, facility tours, and meaningful time with founders who are focused on execution, not theory.”
