"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Two promising Portland startups won $210,000 in new investment Wednesday at the annual Angel Oregon http://www.oenangeloregon.org/ conference, sponsored by the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network.

OpenSesame http://www.opensesame.com/ won the main "launch stage" competition for its plan to standardize e-learning courses in an online marketplace. It qualified for a $185,000 investment from "angels" — wealthy backers who support startups.

Soothie Suckers http://www.soothiesuckers.com/ , which makes herbal remedies in frozen juice pops, won a $25,000 investment in the "concept stage" category.
