Upcoming startup accelerator events: Techstars at the beginning and Oregon Enterprise Blockchain Venture Studio at the end
I told you October is chock full of events… For startup founders, keeping track of all of the accelerator programs can be a challenge.

Anyway… according to Techcrunch, Bend based and brother founded Dutchie just raised a Series A round for their ecommerce platform designed to serve cannabis dispensaries.

Some folks pursue startups for independence. This weekend, folks will be pursuing startups in Independence. Oregon.
When it comes to helping people get their ideas going, there are few weekends that compare to a Techstars Startup Weekend. Fifty four hours of sprinting from idea to product and pitch.

Like Techstars Startup Weekend Small Town Advantage which takes place this weekend in Independence, Oregon.
