Okay, procrastinator pants. I told you. But you’ve been pushing snooze on that task for a couple of weeks. So now I’m giving you the last minute warning. The Oregon Startup Center is accepting applications for the 2026 Beaverton Startup Challenge. And the deadline is this Friday, March 27, 2026.
The Challenge is an annual funding competition designed to identify and invest in promising, scalable startups ready to take their next step. Operated by the Oregon Startup Center (OSC) in partnership with the City of Beaverton and the Westside Startup Fund, the Challenge provides capital, mentorship, targeted support and services to help establish traction and prepare for the next stage of investment.
For many founders, The Challenge represents their first institutional investment, unlocking credibility, momentum and access to further capital.
So if you’ve been meaning to apply — or if you know someone who should — now’s the time. Capital, mentorship, and a whole support system designed to help early-stage startups in Oregon get to their next step. In Beaverton.
Look. Just apply. And make sure you tell them that I sent you their way.
