# Built Oregon selects 12 companies for Fall 2026 accelerator cohort

> Our Level Up Accelerator Program was inspired by our partnerships with prominent regional retailers New Seasons, Market of Choice, World Foods and Tender Loving Empire. While getting on the shelf at one of these retailers is a significant accomplishment, it’s also where the real work begins. This program, aimed at companies in retail, brings in experts to talk about everything from in-store demos to understanding margins and everything in between.

The Fall 2026 cohort:
