2024 Bend Venture Conference

Each fall, hundreds of entrepreneurs and investors from around the country descend on Bend for a two-day celebration of entrepreneurship. Now in its 21st year, BVC is the longest standing and largest angel investment conference in the Pacific Northwest and has served as a catalyst for startup investment in Central Oregon.

Since its inception, the BVC LLC Funds have awarded over $14 million in investment, and companies participating in BVC have leveraged connections from the conference to receive tens of millions in additional funding. Throughout the conference, attendees hear company pitches, break away for networking events at local restaurants and learn from aspiring entrepreneurs and industry thought leaders.
