About us
Calling all innovative and creative entrepreneurs who support startups in Eugene and Springfield, Oregon: join us for coffee and conversation as we network and collaborate on ideas to build and support new businesses. Many of us work in the tech/software industry in town, and we want to help build, connect and grow the local startup infrastructure. You don't have to be a tech startup to join, though.
We have a strong group of food-based startups, biotech, and several small businesses who are interested in networking and helping each other succeed.
This is not a leads group, so there is no need to feel compelled to come with business leads to share.
