ABOUT
The Annual Awards Program is TiE Oregon’s largest and most prestigious event of the year. This year we will celebrate the success of two founders, two exceptional youth founders, and one influential angel investor. In addition, we will announce the winners of Pitch Oregon where four startups will receive equitable investments totaling $325k!
The evening will include awards, amazing food and drink, and the opportunity to meet, mingle, and network with the area’s most active angel investor groups, successful entrepreneurs, and service providers that support the startup ecosystem!

TiE Oregon and the TiE Oregon Foundation are honored to introduce the Jack O’Hollaren Youth Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Jack was a previous TiE Young Entrepreneur Program Participant (TYE), Lincoln High School graduate, and a sophomore at University of Oregon.
In 2016, Jack was unexpectedly taken from us in a tragic accident off the Oregon Coast. The TiE Oregon Foundation and Jack’s Family have joined together to make sure that Jack’s entrepreneurial spirit lives on.
In addition to the award, Jack’s family has donated $1,000 to start a scholarship for deserving students wanting to participate in the TiE Young Entrepreneurs Program. Please join Jack’s family and make a tax-deductible contribution to this fund here.
