Slated for October 14th and 15th, the 7th Annual Bend Venture Conference aims to match bright business ideas with the people who fund them.

Since its inception in 2004, more than 80 companies have pitched their business ideas at BVC; prize winners have gone on to raise over $30 million in subsequent funding rounds. This year’s event promises to draw dozens of enterprising entrepreneurs seeking $100,000 to $1 million in venture capital.

Entrepreneurs will pitch their business ideas to a packed audience at the Tower Theatre in Bend, Oregon. The audience helps choose the finalists, who compete for $175,000 in venture capital.
