NextWave: A Startup Lab for Cluster-Based Innovation

Date: April 10-12

Location: Latino Founders - 2105 SE 7th Ave, Portland OR 97214

Next Wave: Web Edition is designed for entrepreneurs and small business owners who want to build a powerful digital presence but may not yet have the tools or resources to do it on their own. This program helps founders quickly establish a professional online footprint that can expand their reach, attract customers, and grow their business.

Founders accepted into the program will receive a fully developed website and social media presence designed to showcase their products or services and strengthen their brand online. Over the course of the program, participants will also receive personalized, one-on-one mentorship from experienced founders and industry experts, helping them learn how to use their new digital tools to reach more customers and scale their business.

Beyond the technical support, Next Wave connects founders to a broader ecosystem of partners, mentors, and community leaders who can open doors to new opportunities, collaborations, and resources that accelerate growth.

Participants will also gain access to the Latino Founders Hub, a creative space built for entrepreneurs. The Hub includes coworking areas, a podcast studio, and a photography studio, giving founders the tools and environment they need to create content, build their brand, and continue growing long after the program ends.

Whether you're launching your first business or expanding an existing one, Next Wave: Web Edition helps turn your business into a strong digital brand ready to compete and grow in today’s online economy.

Who Should Attend?

This program is open to entrepreneurs and small business owners across Oregon—especially first-time founders, BIPOC entrepreneurs, students, and community members who want to strengthen their digital presence and grow their businesses online.
