Tech Alliance of Central Oregons, DBA BendTECH

SBA Growth Accelerator (GA)

BendTECH (Bend Technology Entrepreneurial and Coworking Hub) is a non-profit co-working and startup accelerator dedicated to the promotion and support of tech-enabled companies and business professionals in the Bend, Oregon area. Along with co-working space, BendTECH creates opportunities for members of Bend's vibrant startup community to connect through hackathons, regular mini-pitchfests, resource fairs, and its annual unConference. BendTECH is working towards increasing the pipeline of local businesses applying for and winning federal funding- specifically Small Business Innovation Research Grants and Small Business Technology Transfer Grants (SBIR/STTRs). BendTECH helps small businesses by providing links to external resources that can aid in the process of learning about these programs and funding opportunities. BendTECH also offers 1-on-1 advising for those who are in the application process or who are seeking additional information regarding federal funding. SBIR/STTR workshops and events are held periodically to help in all stages of the funding process. BendTECH also provides connections to subject matter experts who can be a part of the applicant’s team working on submitting an SBIR, or can connect the applicant to a team requiring expertise that you can offer (software, IT, marketing, grant writing, etc).
