Bend, Oregon

Each fall hundreds of entrepreneurs and investors from around the country descend on beautiful Bend, Oregon for a celebration of Central Oregon’s entrepreneurial community. Now in its 20th year, the Bend Venture Conference (BVC) is the longest standing and largest angel investment conference in the Pacific Northwest and has served as a hub for entrepreneurship in the region. We’re excited to build on 20-years of impact by showcasing rising entrepreneurial stars and hosting attendees for two days of valuable content, networking and idea sharing. Since its inception, the BVC LLC Funds have awarded over $12 million in investments and participating companies have leveraged connections from the conference to receive millions in additional funding.
